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, page1-20.
Use this procedure to attach a grounding cable lug to the router:
Step1 Insert the grounding screws through the locking washers, and into the threaded grounding receptacle on
the chassis as shown in Figure 2-6.
Step2 Tighten the grounding screws securely to the receptacles.
Step3 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.
