Grounding and Protecting the Device
The surge protector box should be attached to the
bottom of the Gateway. The surge protector will be
attached using the ground screw as a pivot point then
the box will be swung into place against a mounting
bracket screw.
•
Remove the ground screw from the base of the
device, and then loosen (but do not remove) the
screw on the same side of the bracket as the
ground screw
•
Run the ground screw through the lug of the green
ground wire coming from the surge protector and
the hole in the surge protector bracket.
•
Before tightening the ground screw, remove a
section of the insulation on the ground wire which
will attach to the ground point on the mounting
structure and wrap this section around the ground
screw.
•
Pivot the box into place such that the other end of
the surge protector’s mounting bracket touches the
loosened screw. Tighten both screws.
•
Be sure to connect the ground wire to the
grounding point on the mounting structure.
•
Run the CAT5e cable under the gasket and plug it
into the Ethernet port in the cavity on the device
base (see the diagram to the right)
