This equipment must be externally grounded using a customer-supplied ground wire before power is applied.
Contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority or an electrician if you are uncertain that suitable
grounding is available. Statement 366
Warning
Ground Lug
Connecting the chassis to earth ground is completed by installing a grounding bracket, assembling the ground
wire and ground lug, then screwing the ground lug and ground wire to the grounding bracket.
The ground lug is provided in the accessory kit. If needed, additional ground lugs are available through
third-party retailers, such as Panduit.
The following information is for standard AC power installations in North America. Your location might
require different specifications. Make sure that you are using the correct ground lug and ground cable for your
location.
Note
The ground lug must be a two-stud, copper barrel lug like the example shown below.
The positive and negative wires can be installed pointing either to the right or to the left as long as the terminal
cover is used.
Panduit LCD4-14A-L connectors (or equivalent) may be used supply and return wires, and Panduit LCD4-14A
or equivalent connectors may be used for the 90-degree ground lug wire. Both connections have double lugs
with .25-inch holes measuring .625 inches from center to center.
Note
Handling the Chassis
As a best practice, handle the chassis when it is empty, and use either a scissors jack or multiple people to
bear the weight.
The Cisco UCS X9508 has defined areas for holding the chassis (grasp points). Grasp points are not indicated
on the chassis itself, but facilitate handling or moving the chassis.
Watch your hands and fingers whenever you handle the chassis, modules, compute nodes, and components!
Narrow vertical or horizontal spaces in situations including, but not limited to, moving the chassis into or out
of the shipping container or equipment rack can cause pinch hazards for your hands and fingers.
