7750 SR-a4 and SR-a8 Installation Guide
Danger:
• Only trained and qualified personnel should install or replace this equipment.
• The 7750 SR-a chassis ground studs located on the left-hand side mounting bracket
must be a permanent connection to the earth (building) ground point. The connection
requires the use of the supplied lug and nuts.
• When wiring the 7750 SR-a router, the ground connection must always be made first
and disconnected last.
The 7750 SR-a chassis must be correctly connected to earth ground.
Grounding cables are not provided with the 7750 SR-a chassis. The length of the grounding
wire that you need depends on the location of the 7750 SR-a router and its proximity to the
correct grounding facilities. You must use a minimum of #8 AWG wire for the ground
connection.
Alcatel-Lucent supplies the chassis ground lug (Burndy YAZ8C2TC1045, Alcatel-Lucent
PN 52-1178-01). Because of the compact design of the 7750 SR-a chassis, the lug is angled
at 45 degrees. The lug and two 10-32 nuts are included in the accessory kit that is shipped
with the chassis. The lug is designed for #8 AWG ground wire.
Note: If you require a gauge larger than #8 AWG, the lug must be a two-hole, 45-degree
lug for #10 studs. The spacing between the two holes in the lug must be 5/8 in. (1.59 cm).
