Connecting The Acx6160 Grounding Cable - Juniper ACX6160 Hardware Manual

Connecting the ACX6160 Grounding Cable

To meet safety and electromagnetic interference (EMI) requirements and to ensure proper operation,
you must connect the ACX6160 device to earth ground before you connect it to power.
You must install the ACX6160 in a restricted-access location and ensure that the chassis is always
properly grounded. The ACX6160 has a two-hole protective grounding terminal provided on the chassis.
See Figure 19 on page 55. Under all circumstances, use this grounding connection to ground the
chassis. For AC-powered systems, you must also use the grounding wire in the AC power cord along
with the two-hole grounding lug connection. This tested system meets or exceeds all applicable EMC
regulatory requirements with the two-hole protective grounding terminal.
Figure 19: ACX6160 Grounding Points
Before you connect earth ground to the protective earthing terminal of an ACX6160 device, ensure that
a licensed electrician has attached an appropriate grounding lug to the grounding cable.
CAUTION: Using a grounding cable with an incorrectly attached lug can damage the
device.
NOTE: Mount your device in the rack before attaching the grounding lug to the device. See
"Mounting the ACX6160" on page
Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available:
• Grounding cable for your ACX6160 device—The grounding cable must be 14 AWG (2 mm²), minimum
90° C wire, or as permitted by the local code.
• Grounding lug for your grounding cable—The grounding lug required is a Panduit LCD10-10A-L or
equivalent.
