Supplemental Bonding and Grounding Connections
Supplemental Bonding and Grounding Connections
Before you connect power to the router, or power on the router for the first time,
we recommend that you connect the central office ground system or new
equipment building system (NEBS) to the supplemental bonding and grounding
points on the router. For more information on supplemental bonding and
grounding cable requirements, see the
“Router Bonding and Grounding
Receptacles—Top Rear” section on page 2-23
.
There are two earth ground receptacles that you can use to connect a supplemental
grounding cable to the chassis; one is on the front of the chassis behind the air
filter door, and the other is located at the top rear of the chassis.
Use one of the following procedures to connect a grounding cable lug to the
chassis:
•
Connecting to the Front Grounding Receptacle, page 3-22
•
Connecting to the Top Rear Receptacle, page 3-24
