Grounding the Chassis
If the bottom-support rails are extended a long distance, they can bend outwards slightly when you install
Note
the chassis and the chassis stops at the far end of the rails might not fit into the end of the chassis. If this
happens, press the side rails toward the sides of the chassis so that the chassis stops can go inside the chassis
and hold it in place on the rack.
1
Slide the power-supply end of the chassis onto the
bottom-support rails so that the chassis locks onto the
chassis stops at the end of the rails.
2
Chassis stops for holding the chassis (positioned by
the aisle required for the fan and power supply
modules).
Step 2
Use a customer-supplied rack-mount screw (an M6 x 10 mm screw or other appropriate screw for the rack) to attach each
of the two mounting brackets on the chassis to the rack and tighten each screw to the appropriate torque setting for the
screw (for M6 x 10 mm screws, use 40 in-lbs [4.5 N·m] of torque).
Grounding the Chassis
The switch chassis is automatically grounded when you properly install the switch in a grounded rack with
metal-to-metal connections between the switch and rack.
Note
You can also ground the chassis, which is required if the rack is not grounded, by attaching a customer-supplied
grounding cable. Attach the cable to the chassis grounding pad and the facility ground.

18
An electrical conducting path shall exist between the product chassis and the metal surface of the enclosure
or rack in which it is mounted or to a grounding conductor. Electrical continuity shall be provided by using
thread-forming type mounting screws that remove any paint or non-conductive coatings and establish a
metal-to-metal contact. Any paint or other non-conductive coatings shall be removed on the surfaces between
the mounting hardware and the enclosure or rack. The surfaces shall be cleaned and an antioxidant applied
before installation.
Statement 1024 Ground Conductor
This equipment must be grounded. To reduce the risk of electric shock, never defeat the ground conductor or
operate the equipment in the absence of a suitably installed ground conductor. Contact the appropriate electrical
inspection authority or an electrician if you are uncertain that suitable grounding is available.
Statement 1046 Installing or Replacing the Unit
To reduce risk of electric shock, when installing or replacing the unit, the ground connection must always be
made first and disconnected last.
3
Receiving hole on each side of the chassis for the
chassis stops on the bottom-support rails.
4
Customer-supplied rack-mount screw (M6 x 10 mm
screw or other screw appropriate for the rack) used to
secure each side of the chassis to the rack.
