Attaching the Ground Cable

To attach the ground cable to the chassis, use a single M4x0.7 screw. The cable itself is not included with

the S6000. To properly ground the chassis, Dell Networking recommends using a 6AWG one-hole lug,

#10 hole size, 63" spacing (not included in shipping). The one-hole lug must be a UL recognized, crimp-

type lug.

To connect the ground cable to the system, follow these steps:

CAUTION: Grounding conductors must be made of copper. Do not use aluminum conductors.

NOTE: The rack installation “ears” are not suitable for grounding.

NOTE: Coat the one-hole lug with an anti-oxidant compound prior to crimping. Also, bring any un-plated

mating surfaces to a shiny finish and coat with an anti-oxidant prior to mating. Plated mating surfaces must be

clean and free from contamination.

2 After you have installed both switch rails, line them up on the previously mounted Ready-Rails and slide the

switch in until it is flush with front of rack. About three inches prior to full insertion, the rail locking feature

engages to keep the switch from inadvertently sliding out of the rack and falling.

NOTE: Do not the use the mounted Ready-Rails as a shelf or a workplace.
