Installation Procedures
b.
Cut the ends of the power and ground wires so that the ends are straight, not slanted.
c.
Measure 0.43 inch (11 mm) up from the end of each power and ground wire and place a mark at that
point. These are the wire ends that will be connected to the Cisco 6260.
d.
Use the wire stripping tool to remove 0.43 inch (11 mm) of the covering from both ends of each
wire. Trim the ends of the covering so that they are straight, as shown in
Figure 3-5
, not slanted.
Figure 3-5
Strip and Square Off Power and Ground Wires
Warning
Remove the covering from exactly the specified length of each power wire. If you strip too much of
the covering, exposed wire protruding from the terminal block will create an electrical hazard. If you
strip too little of the covering, the wire may not make a good contact with the terminal, or it may not
be held securely in place in the terminal block.
Step 4
Use a flat-head screwdriver to turn all three screws on the terminal block counterclockwise to open the
terminal connectors: + (positive), – (negative), and ground. This step ensures that the correct opening is
presented for the wires, as shown in
Figure 3-6
