Ground and Power Cable Installation
The Acme Packet 6300/6350 must be properly grounded to ensure efficient system
performance. Grounding your Acme Packet chassis is an extremely important part of
the installation and maintenance procedures. If the Acme Packet 6300/6350 is not
properly grounded, it can result in physical harm, problems with system functionality,
and it can exhibit the following unpredictable problems:
•
Garbled output on the console display
•
Sudden crashes
•
Physical damage to the Acme Packet chassis and its hardware components
Note:
Failure to ground the chassis properly can result in bodily harm (in
certain circumstances) and permanent damage to the Acme Packet
6300/6350 and its components.
The Acme Packet 6300/6350 does not support mixing AC and DC power
supplies in the same chassis. A mixed power configuration is prohibited.
Your equipment rack location must have a local earth ground. This ground can be
either an unpainted spot on the grounded equipment rack frame or a grounded bus bar
in the equipment room.
Grounding Cable Installation
The ground terminals are located to the left of the two power supplies, in the rear
of the chassis. The Acme Packet 6300/6350 ships with 2 kep nuts screwed onto the
ground terminals. You use an 11/32” nut driver to remove and install these kep nuts.
This section shows you how to install the grounding cable on your Acme Packet
6300/6350.
Important: Acme Packet 6300/6350 equipment is suitable for installation as part of a
Common Bonding Network (CBN).
