Ground cable

To attach a ground cable to the switch, use the included M4 screws.

NOTE:For an AC-powered switch, although the third conductor of the AC power cable provides a ground path, Dell Technologies recommends grounding your switch with a dedicated ground wire. You can order an AC ground lug separately.
NOTE:For a DC-powered switch, the only way to safely ground your switch is to attach a dedicated ground wire. The ground lug kit ships in a plastic bag placed with the other accessories inside the shipping box. The ground lug bracket screws ship attached to the switch. Before you install the DC switch in the dual-tray, attach the ground lug and bracket to the switch using the included screws and then attach the DC ground wire to the ground lug.

The ground cable is not included. The grounding lugs must be a UL-recognized, crimp-type lug.

CAUTION:Grounding conductors must be made of copper. Do not use aluminum conductors.
NOTE:Coat the one-hole lug with an antioxidant compound before crimping. Also, bring any unplated mating surfaces to a shiny finish and coat with an antioxidant before mating. Plated mating surfaces must be clean and free from contamination.
NOTE:The rack installation ears are not suitable for grounding.

To connect the ground cable to the switch:

  1. Cut your user-supplied ground cable to the desired length.
    The cable length must facilitate proper operation of the fault interrupt circuits. Use the shortest cable route allowable.
  2. Crimp the ground cable inside the preinstalled ground lug.
  3. Attach the other end of the ground cable to a suitable ground point such as the rack or cabinet.
    The rack installation ears are not a suitable grounding point.
