6. Cut the chassis grounding wire to length and connect it to the approved ground source as
required by local code or practice.
Note: Be sure to maintain reliable grounding for rack and wall mounted equipment. Pay
particular attention to ground source connections.

2.5 Coaxial Cable Connections

The RF signal connections between the RIU and DHU are supported through a pair of type N
female connectors mounted on the RIU front panel. One connector is used for connecting the
forward path coaxial cable and the other connector is used for connecting the reverse path
coaxial cable. The RF signal connection between the RIU and the donor antenna is supported
through a single type N female connector. The single connector is used for connecting the
coaxial jumper cable that links the RIU to the donor antenna.
2.5.1 Forward and Reverse Path Coaxial Cable Connections
Use the following procedure to install the forward and reverse path coaxial cables that link the
RIU to the DHU:
1. Locate the forward and reverse path coaxial cables that were routed to the RIU from the
DHU.
Note: The procedures for routing the reverse and forward path coaxial cables from the
DHU to the RIU and for connecting the cables to the DHU are covered in the Digivance
ICS Installation and Operation Manual (ADCP-75-110) which is provided with the DHU.
2. Terminate each cable with a type N male connector following the connector supplier's
recommendations.
3. Connect the forward path cable to the FORWARD OUT connector on the RIU front
panel as shown in Figure 9.
