Grounding the Device
The rear panel of the server appliance includes a single-screw grounding terminal.
The surface area around this terminal is not painted in order to provide for a good
connection. The terminal must be connected to ground to ensure proper operation
and to meet electromagnetic interference (EMI) and safety requirements.
Figure 12: Grounding the Device
Before powering on the server, ground the device to earth as described below.
1. Ensure the device is properly grounded in compliance with ETSI ETS 300 253.
Verify that there is a good electrical connection to the grounding point (no paint
or isolating surface treatment).
2. Disconnect all power cables to the device.
3. Attach a #14 AWG stranded copper wire to the grounding terminal on the
server.
4. Then attach the grounding wire to the ground point.
Caution:
The earth connection must not be removed unless all supply
connections have been disconnected.
