Preparing for Installation

Right-angled grounding lug

Step 5

Prepare the other end of the grounding wire, and connect it to an appropriate grounding point in your site to ensure

adequate earth ground for the switch.

Attaching an ESD Strap

After you install the system ground lug, follow these steps to correctly attach the ESD wrist strap:

SUMMARY STEPS

1. Attach the ESD wrist strap to bare skin as follows:

2. Grasp the spring or alligator clip on the ESD wrist strap and momentarily touch the clip to a bare metal

spot (unpainted surface) on the rack. We recommend that you touch the clip to an unpainted rack rail so

that any built-up static charge is then safely dissipated to the entire rack.

3. Attach either the spring clip or the alligator clip to the ground lug screw as follows:

DETAILED STEPS

Step 1

Attach the ESD wrist strap to bare skin as follows:

a) If you are using the ESD wrist strap supplied with the FRUs, open the wrist strap package and unwrap the ESD wrist

strap. Place the black conductive loop over your wrist and tighten the strap such that it touches your bare skin well.

b) If you are using an ESD wrist strap equipped with an alligator clip, open the package and remove the ESD wrist

strap. Locate the end of the wrist strap that attaches to your body and secure it to your bare skin.

Step 2

Grasp the spring or alligator clip on the ESD wrist strap and momentarily touch the clip to a bare metal spot (unpainted

surface) on the rack. We recommend that you touch the clip to an unpainted rack rail so that any built-up static charge

is then safely dissipated to the entire rack.

Step 3

Attach either the spring clip or the alligator clip to the ground lug screw as follows:

a) If you are using the ESD wrist strap that is supplied with the FRUs, squeeze the spring clip jaws open, position the

spring clip to one side of the system ground lug screw head, and slide the spring clip over the lug screw head so that

the spring clip jaws close behind the lug screw head.

Note

The spring clip jaws do not open wide enough to fit directly over the head of the lug screw or the lug barrel.
