Chapter 3 Installing the Router
Supplemental Bonding and Grounding Connections
Installing the Chassis on a Tabletop or Flat Surface
Follow the steps below to install a Cisco 12006 Router or Cisco 12406 Router on a tabletop or stable flat surface. You can use the same mounting hardware that secured your router to the shipping pallet to secure the chassis to a flat surface.
Step 1 Move the router as close to the installation location as possible.
Caution Do not lift the chassis by the blower module handle. This handle is designed to support only the weight of the blower module.
Step 2 With one person positioned at the front of the chassis and one at the rear, lift the chassis off the pallet and position the chassis on the flat surface.
Step 3 Secure the chassis to the flat surface to ensure that it does not fall off.
Supplemental Bonding and Grounding Connections
If the router is installed in a network equipment building system (NEBS) environment, follow the guidelines in this section. For installations other than in a NEBS environment, you may chose to rely on the safety earth ground connection supplied via the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 320 inlets for
Even though the router chassis requires a safety earth ground connection as part of the power cabling to the PDU, we strongly recommend that you connect the central office ground system or interior equipment grounding system to the supplemental bonding and grounding receptacle on the router chassis, which satisfies the Telcordia NEBS requirement for supplemental bonding and grounding connections. This receptacle consists of three threaded inserts located on the side of the chassis near the back panel. (See Figure
