Figure 6. Installing the Z9100–ON in a Front-Rack Configuration

Attaching the Ground Cable (Recommended)

Depending on the type of Z9100–ON system you have, to attach a ground cable to the chassis, you will

need one of the included M3 or M4 screws.

The system ships with one of the following two configurations:

• One threaded hole using an included M3 screw.

• Two threaded holes using one of the two included M4 screws.

In both configurations, the ground cable is not included. To properly ground the chassis, Dell Networking

recommends a 6 AWG one- or two-hole lug, M3 or M4 hole size. The system hole lugs must be a UL-

recognized, crimp-type lug.

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

NOTE: Coat the one-hole lug with an anti-oxidant compound prior to crimping. Bring any unplated

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.

NOTE: The rack installation ears are not a suitable grounding point.
