Dell PowerConnect J-Series J-EX8216 Ethernet Switch Hardware Guide J-EX8200 switch, connect a grounding cable to earth ground and then attach it to the chassis grounding points. CAUTION: For installations that require a separate grounding conductor to the chassis, use the protective earthing terminal on the J-EX8200 switch chassis to connect to earth ground. Before switch installation begins, a licensed electrician must attach a cable lug to the grounding cables that you supply. See "Connecting Earth Ground to a J-EX Series Switch" on page 129. A cable with an incorrectly attached lug can damage the switch. Two pairs of threaded inserts (PEM nuts) are provided on the J-EX8216 chassis for connecting the switch to earth ground. The first pair is located on the right side towards the top rear corner of the chassis. The second pair is on the rear of chassis towards the right bottom corner of the chassis. Both pairs of grounding points fit UNC ¼-20 screws. The grounding points are spaced at 0.625 in. (15.86 mm). NOTE: J-EX8216 switches have two protective earthing terminals provided on the chassis. Only one of these protective earthing terminals needs to be permanently connected to earth ground. See "Chassis Physical Specifications of a J-EX8216 Switch" on page 9 for the location of the protective earthing terminals. NOTE: Grounding is provided to an AC-powered switch when you plug its power supplies into grounded AC power receptacles. The grounding cable that you provide for a J-EX8216 switch must be 2 AWG (33.6 mm2), minimum 60°C wire, or as permitted by the local code. NOTE: Two grounding lugs for a J-EX8216 switch are shipped with the chassis. WARNING: The switch is pluggable type A equipment installed in a restricted-access location. It has a separate protective earthing terminal provided on the chassis in addition to the grounding pin of the power supply cord. This separate protective earthing terminal must be permanently connected to earth ground for installations that require a separate grounding conductor to the chassis.
