Facility requirements
Before installing the chassis and addressing facility requirements, you must earth-ground the switch
chassis using one of the following two methods:
• Through chassis rack ear mounts to a grounded data center rack (see table below)
All equipment in the rack is grounded through a reliable branch circuit connection.
• Through an explicit ground cable
The chassis is grounded via a ground cable using the threaded ground lug connection on the nonport
side of the chassis. See item 1 in the following gure.
