Grounding the Passport and interworking equipment

The NEBS 2000 frame is the grounding point for the switch hardware. The
frame has a silvery grounding strip bonded to the front of each frame upright
and across the top front. Mounting any Passport equipment onto the frame
using the provided self-tapping bolts automatically grounds it to the frame.
The NEBS 2000 frame is to be grounded to the site ground window using a
cable with a straight two-hole lug from a top front or top rear pair of pre-
drilled unthreaded holes through the silvery strip. Grounding the frame to the
site ground window grounds all equipment mounted onto the frame.
Any optional Passport or non-Passport equipment that is connected to or
interworks with the hardware of a Passport must share the same ground
window even if the equipment is mounted in different mounting apparatuses.
