ASA5580 HW Installation - Where's the GROUND connector?

campa1979

Hello people,

As part of a DC deploy, aI have to install 2 x ASA5580. My surprise was the missing connection bolts (or place) on the chassis for the grounding cable. All othes equipments (ASR, 6500, Nexus 7K) have a grounding connection on their chassis.

The Installation manual alerts and requests a good gorundid for it. But where should I put it??

Note that the rack where it's installed on is already grounded.

Hope you could help me with this doubt

Thanks!

Lucas

You are right, the ASA5580 does not come with ground port. As long as your rack is grounded, then you are good.

It also uses AC input power, and is shipped with a 3-wire electrical cord with grounding type plug that only fits to a grounding type power outlet.

Hope that helps.
