Grounding the SRX3400 Services Gateway
You ground the services gateway by connecting
a grounding cable to earth ground and then attaching it to the chassis
grounding point using two M5 screws. You must provide the grounding
cables (the cable lugs are supplied with the services gateway). For
grounding cable specifications, see SRX3400 Services Gateway Chassis Grounding Point.
- Verify that a licensed electrician has attached
the cable lug provided with the services gateway to the grounding
cable.
- Attach an ESD grounding strap to your bare wrist
and connect the strap to an approved site ESD grounding point. See
the instructions for your site.
- Ensure that all grounding surfaces are clean and
brought to a bright finish before grounding connections are made.
- Connect the grounding cable to a proper earth ground.
- Detach the ESD grounding strap from the site ESD
grounding point.
- Attach an ESD grounding strap to your bare wrist
and connect the strap to one of the ESD points on the chassis. For
more information about ESD, see Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage to the SRX3400 Services Gateway.
- Place the grounding cable lug over the grounding
point—a pair of M5 holes to the left of the power supply slots.
See Figure 1.

- Secure the grounding cable lug to the chassis, first with the
washers, then with the screws.
- Dress the grounding cable and verify that it does
not touch or block access to services gateway components, and that
it does not drape where people could trip on it.
