Ground Lug Installation

The ground lug assembly (GLA) is used to safely and effectively ground the ES1000's chassis to the rack in which it is installed. This is an important task in the overall installation process of the enterprise access switch.
Note: The GLA is not applicable to the AC SKUs of the enclosure.

To install GLA, proceed with the following steps:

  1. Gather a #2 Philips-head screwdriver, an eight millimeter hex socket, and an inch-pound torque wrench.
  2. Verify the part numbers as listed within image.
    CAUTION: The image shows the ground lug assembly and the grounding wire terminal. The terminal must have a #10 AWG wire (not shown) crimped within it. The other end of the grounding wire must be securely attached to an unpainted metal surface on the rack. Failure to do so may result in system damage or failure and possible physical injury.
  3. Tighten both screws to 4.5 inch/pounds (+/- 0.5 in/lb).
  4. Remove both nuts and washers from grounding bracket.
  5. Attach the grounding wire terminal and reinstall the washers and nuts.
  6. Tighten both nuts to 4.5 inch/pounds (+/- 0.5 in/lb).
  7. The GLA installation process is complete.
  8. When crimping the 10AWG cable to the lug, remove 0.38" of shielding to expose the metal wire. Slide it into the lug and ensure metal-to-metal contact before crimping.
    CAUTION: The terminal must have a #10 AWG wire (not shown) crimped within it. The other end of the grounding wire must be securely attached to an unpainted metal surface on the rack. Failure to do so may result in system damage or failure and possible physical injury.
