Connecting the Switch to Earth Ground This procedure describes how to connect the Catalyst 2948G, 2948G-GE-TX, and 2980G switches to earth ground. We strongly recommend that you complete this procedure before connecting system power or turning on your switch. To attach the grounding lug and cable to the grounding pad on the Catalyst 2948G, 2948G-GE-TX, and 2980G switches, follow these steps: Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Use a wire-stripping tool to remove approximately 0.75 inches (19 mm) of the covering from the end of the grounding wire. Insert the stripped end of the grounding wire into the open end of the grounding lug. Use the crimping tool to secure the grounding wire in place in the grounding lug. Locate the grounding pad on the switch.
