Connecng DC Power to an EX2300 Switch
Before you begin connecng DC power to the switch, ensure that you have connected earth ground to
the switch chassis.
CAUTION: Before you connect power to the switch, a licensed electrician must aach a
cable lug to the grounding and power cables. A cable with an incorrectly aached lug
can damage the switch (for example, by causing a short circuit).
To meet safety and electromagnec interference (EMI) requirements and to ensure
proper operaon, you must connect the switch to earth ground before you connect
them to power. For installaons that require a separate grounding conductor to the
chassis, use the protecve earthing terminal on the switch chassis to connect to the
earth ground. For instrucons on connecng earth ground, see "Connect Earth Ground
to an EX Series Switch" on page 132.
NOTE: Grounding is required for DC systems and recommended for AC systems.
Ensure that you have taken the necessary precauons to prevent electrostac discharge (ESD) damage
(see
Prevenon of Electrostac Discharge Damage
).
Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available:
