  • Page 18: Power Cords And Ground Wire Connection

    Power Cords and Ground Wire Connection Connecting the AC Power Cord AC power socket (recommended) You are recommended to use a single-phase three-wire power socket with a neural point or a multifunction PC socket. The neutral point of the power in the building must be well grounded. Usually, the neutral points of power supplies in buildings are already grounded during cabling.
  • Page 19: Connecting The Ground Wire

    Connecting the Ground Wire Connect the AC ground wire properly since it is crucial to lightning protection and electromagnetic susceptibility (EMS). The power input end of the AC is connected with a noise filter, whose central ground is directly connected to the chassis, forming the chassis ground (also known as PGND). This chassis ground must be securely grounded so that induced and leaked electricity can be safely discharged to the ground, enhancing the EMS capability of the AC.

    Gigabit Ethernet Interface Connection A WX5002 AC provides two gigabit Ethernet combo interfaces on its front panel. The connection methods of the gigabit Ethernet electrical interface and the gigabit Ethernet optical interface are respectively described here. Connecting an Ethernet Electrical Interface Cables for connecting an Ethernet electrical interface Ethernet electrical interfaces usually use category 5 twisted pair cables, as shown in Figure 3-9.

    Step 2: View the LED of the Ethernet interface. ON means a link is present. OFF means no link is present. If the LED is OFF, check the line for the cause. Connecting an Ethernet Optical Interface Cables for connecting an Ethernet optical interface For 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet optical interfaces, use single-mode or multi-mode optical fibers to connect to the Ethernet based on the type of the installed 1000 Base-SX/LX SFP modules.
