Grounding the Chassis
Grounding the Chassis
The chassis has a grounding pad with two threaded M4 holes for attaching a grounding lug. Figure 3-6
shows the system ground location on the Cisco Nexus 2000 Series FEX.
Warning
When installing or replacing the unit, the ground connection must always be made first and
disconnected last.
Statement 1046
Caution We recommend that you ground the chassis, even if the rack is already grounded.
Caution You must ground all power supplies. The receptacles of the AC power cables used to provide power to
the chassis must be the grounding type, and the grounding conductors should connect to protective earth
ground at the service equipment.
