Supplemental Bonding and Grounding Connections

Before you power on the router for the first time, we recommend that you connect the central office
ground system or Network Equipment Building System (NEBS) to the threaded supplemental bonding
and grounding receptacles on the router. For more information on supplemental bonding and grounding
cable requirements, see the “NEBS Supplemental Unit Bonding and Grounding Guidelines” section on
page 1-20.
