The tools and parts required to connect the grounding wire, AC power cords, and DC power cables
on the gateway are:
An appropriate screwdriver
5/8" pitch twin hole grounding lug
A standard ring terminal
Ground wire-Use 14-AWG to10-AWG copper wire
Power cord-For more information on the power cord, see "AC Power Cord Specifications" on
page 77
Power cable-For more information on power cables, see "DC Power Cable Specifications" on
page 78
Ground the gateway by connecting a grounding wire to earth ground and then connecting the other
end to one of the chassis grounding points using M4 nuts. The gateway has two grounding studs
located on the right side of the front panel to accommodate the lug. Washers and nuts are
attached to the grounding points and the studs are marked with an earth symbol. One grounding
screw of size M5 is provided on the left side in the rear of the gateway that can be used when the
gateway is mounted on the wall (see Figure 21 on page 37).
Warning: Always connect the grounding wires first (before connecting the power cords) and
disconnect them last when installing or servicing the gateway.
