CAUTION: Before you connect DC power to the PTX10001-36MR, a licensed
electrician must attach a cable lug to the grounding and power cables that you supply.
A cable with an incorrectly attached lug can damage the router (for example, by
causing a short circuit).
NOTE: To meet safety and electromagnetic interference (EMI) requirements and to ensure
proper operation, you must connect the chassis to earth ground before you connect it to
power. For installations that require a separate grounding conductor to the chassis, use the
protective earthing terminal on the PTX10001-36MR chassis to connect to the earth ground
(see
"Connect the PTX10001-36MR to Ground" on page
• Install the DC power supply in the chassis. See
page
108. The battery returns of the DC power supply must be connected as an isolated DC return
(DC-I).
• Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available:
• ESD grounding strap (provided)
• Phillips (+) screwdriver, 1/4-in., with a torque range between 6 lb-in. (0.68 Nm) and 7 lb-in. (0.79
