Installing the Chassis Ground Connection
Warning
This equipment must be grounded. Never defeat the ground conductor or operate the equipment in the
absence of a suitably installed ground conductor. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection
authority or an electrician if you are uncertain that suitable grounding is available.
Statement 1024
You must connect the chassis to a reliable earth ground; the ground wire must be installed in accordance
with local electrical safety standards.
Note
NEBS-compliant grounding is not supported on the Cisco IAD2801.
•
For NEC-compliant grounding, use size 14 AWG (2 mm
2
) or larger copper wire and an appropriate
user-supplied ring terminal with an inner diameter of 1/4 in. (5–7 mm).
•
For EN/IEC 60950-compliant grounding, use size 18 AWG (1 mm
2
) or larger copper wire and an
appropriate user-supplied ring terminal.
To install the ground connection for a Cisco IAD2801, perform the following steps:
Step 1
Strip one end of the ground wire to the length required for the ground lug or terminal.
•
For the NEBS ground lug—approximately 0.75 in. (20 mm)
•
For user-provided ring terminal—as required
Step 2
Crimp the ground wire to the ground lug or ring terminal, using a crimp tool of the appropriate size.
Step 3
Attach the ground lug or ring terminal to the chassis as shown in
. For a ground lug, use the
two screws with captive locking washers provided. For a ring terminal, use one of the screws provided.
Tighten the screws to a torque of 8 to 10 in-lb (0.9 to 1.1 N-m).
Step 4
Connect the other end of the ground wire to a known reliable earth ground point at your site.
