Port Cables; Specifications; Mounting The Platform - Radware AppDirector OnDemand Switch VL Installation And Maintenance Manual

When mounting a Radware platform with a DC power supply, battery return terminals must be in the
configuration of an Isolated DC Return (DC-I) or Common DC Return (DC-C).
The following diagram shows the proper grounding connection to a Radware platform.

The Radware platform must be connected to the grounding wire by means of the grounding screw
using the listed lug.
Bare conductors must be coated with antioxidant before making crimp connections.
A star washer (tooth washer) must be used next to opposite sides of the grounding lug or terminal.
This provides the proper locking mechanism. The internal tooth washer removes paint from the
chassis to establish a metal-to-metal contact to the unplated surface.

Port Cables

Ethernet port cables should be shielded and grounded at both ends.
