Grounding the 8010co chassis

Ground the 8010co chassis to avoid electrical hazard and ensure optimal performance.

ATTENTION

Nortel recommends grounding the 8010co chassis before you connect power cables or network cables to your switch.

Prerequisites

Verify that you have the following tools and materials:

One single-hole cable lug that fits over one of the grounding studs.

A nut and locking washer for the grounding stud

A 6-AWG grounding wire long enough to connect to the ground point

A 7/16-inch hex wrench to fasten the hardware in the correct order

Procedure steps

Step Action

1Locate the shelf grounding point on the rack.

The rack grounding point is a grounding strip located on the back, base, top, or side.

ATTENTION

The rack grounding strip can look different than the one shown in “Procedure job aid: Grounding the 8010co chassis” (page 41) the procedure job aid.

2Attach the lug ends of the chassis ground cables to the rack grounding strip using a 7/16-inch hex wrench to fasten the hardware in the correct order.
