Starting Up the Switch
1
Chassis grounding pad
2
Grounding cable, with 0.75 in. (19 mm) of insulation
stripped from one end, inserted into the grounding
lug and crimped in place
Step 3
Secure the grounding lug to the chassis grounding pad with two M4 screws (see Callouts 1 and 3 in the previous figure),
and tighten the screws to 11 to 15 in-lb (1.24 to 1.69 N·m) of torque.
Step 4
Prepare the other end of the grounding wire and connect it to the facility ground.
Starting Up the Switch
Before you can turn on the switch, you must ensure the following:
• The switch has enough power supplies to output the amount of wattage required for all of the modules

installed in the switch. Depending on the power mode that you use for the switch, you need to consider
the following:
◦ For combined power mode (no power redundancy), there must be enough power supplies to power
all of the modules in the chassis (no extra power supplies are needed for redundancy).
◦ For n+1 redundancy mode, there must be enough power supplies to power all of the modules in
the chassis and there must be one extra power supply to provide redundancy if one power supply
goes down or is replaced. The maximum number of power supplies needed is the number used for
combined power mode plus one (n+1) for redundancy.
