NEBS Requirements

This section provides the Network Equipment-Building System (NEBS) requirements for installation
of the NEBS-certified Radware platform and rack in which the platform is mounted.
Note: For the availability status of Radware's OnDemand Switch NEBS-compliant platforms, please
contact Radware Operations.

Rack and Radware Platform

The rack in which a Radware platform is mounted must be in a Network Telecommunication Facility
only.
The NEBS-certified Radware platform and rack in which the platform is mounted must be installed in
a restricted access location.

Grounding

The NEBS-certified Radware platform and rack in which the platform is mounted must be grounded
to a Common Bonding Network.
Warning: The intrabuilding port(s) of the equipment or subassembly is suitable for connection to
intrabuilding or unexposed wiring or cabling only. The intra-building port(s) of the
equipment or subassembly MUST NOT be metallically connected to interfaces that
connect to the OSP or its wiring. These interfaces are designed for use as intra-
building interfaces only (Type 2 or Type 4 ports as described in GR-1089-CORE,
Issue 4) and require isolation from the exposed OSP cabling. The addition of Primary
Protectors is not sufficient protection in order to connect these interfaces metallically
to OSP wiring.
Only copper cables, 18 AWG or larger, must be used for grounding purposes.
