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 NEBS Supplemental Unit Bonding and Grounding Guidelines, page 1-20.

Use this procedure to attach a grounding cable lug to the router:

Step 1 Insert the grounding screws through the locking washers, and into the threaded grounding receptacle on the chassis as shown in Figure 2-6.

Step 2 Tighten the grounding screws securely to the receptacles.

Step 3 Prepare the other end of the grounding wire, and connect it to the appropriate grounding point at your site to ensure an adequate earth ground.
