Two system (earth) grounding holes are provided in an enclosure near the top of
the chassis.
To make an adequate grounding connection, you need the following parts and
tools:
•
Grounding lug.
Lug mounting adapter.
•
•
Two M4 (metric) hex-head screws with locking washers.
One grounding wire. We recommend 6 AWG. The length of the grounding
•
wires depends on the location of your Cisco ONS 15540 ESPx within the site
and its proximity to proper grounding facilities.
Number 2 Phillips head screwdriver.
•
•
Crimping tool. This tool must be large enough to accommodate the girth of
the grounding lug when you crimp the grounding cable into the lug.
•
Wire-stripping tool.
The grounding lugs, lug mounting adapter, and M4 screws are included in your
accessory kit that ships with the system.
This section describes how to connect the Cisco ONS 15540 ESPx to earth
ground. You must complete this procedure before connecting system power or
powering up your shelf.
Install the grounding equipment after you install the top cable management guide.
