NOTE:
To rack-mount the S6800-4C switch by using 2U high mounting brackets and slide rails, use two
screws and two cage nuts to attach each mounting bracket to the rack. Determine the screw
installation positions based on the distances between the square holes on the rack posts. The screw

Grounding the switch by using a grounding strip
CAUTION:
•
Correctly connecting the grounding cable is crucial to lightning protection and EMI protection.
•
Do not connect the grounding cable to a fire main or lightning rod.
•
To guarantee the grounding effect and avoid switch damage, use the grounding cable provided
with the switch to connect the switch to a grounding strip in the equipment room.
The power input end of the switch has a noise filter, whose central ground is directly connected to the
chassis to form the chassis ground (commonly known as PGND). You must securely connect this
chassis ground to the earth so the faradism and leakage electricity can be safely released to the
earth to minimize EMI susceptibility of the switch.
To ground the switch by using a grounding strip:
1.
Select a grounding point on the switch as required.
2.
Attach the single-hole grounding lug at one end of the grounding cable to the grounding point
on the switch chassis. For more information, see "
Connecting the grounding cable to the
."
3.
Remove the hex nut of a grounding post on the grounding strip.
4.
Attach the ring terminal at the other end of the grounding cable to the grounding post on the
grounding strip, and secure the ring terminal to the grounding post with the hex nut.
