Acx6160 Chassis Grounding Cable And Lug Specifications - Juniper ACX6160 Hardware Manual

• Follow prescribed airflow guidelines to ensure that the cooling system functions properly. Ensure
that exhaust from other equipment does not blow into the intake vents of the device.
• Follow the prescribed electrostatic discharge (ESD) prevention procedures to prevent damaging the
equipment. Static discharge can cause components to fail completely or intermittently over time.
• Install the device in a secure area, so that only authorized personnel can access the device.

ACX6160 Chassis Grounding Cable and Lug Specifications

For installations that require a separate grounding conductor to the chassis, the ACX6160 must be
adequately grounded before power is connected to ensure proper operation and to meet safety and
electromagnetic interference (EMI) requirements. To ground an ACX6160, connect a grounding cable to
earth ground and then attach it to the chassis grounding points.
WARNING: The device is a pluggable type A equipment installed in a restricted-access
location. It has a separate protective earthing terminal provided on the chassis in
addition to the grounding pin of the power supply cord. This separate protective
earthing terminal must be permanently connected to earth ground for installations that
require a separate grounding conductor to the chassis.
WARNING: To comply with GR-1089 requirements, all intrabuilding copper cabling
used for SFP+, QSFP+, and QSFP28 ports must be shielded and grounded at both ends.
CAUTION: Before device installation begins, a licensed electrician must attach a cable
lug to the grounding cables that you supply. See
Cable" on page
Before connecting the ACX6160 to earth ground, review the following information:
• The grounding lug required is a Panduit LCD10-10A-L or equivalent (not provided). The grounding
lug accommodates 14–10 AWG (2–5.3 mm²) stranded wire.
• The grounding points require two #10-32 UNF x .31L screws and washers. The grounding points are
spaced at 0.63 in. (16 mm).
• The grounding cable that you provide for an ACX6160 must be the same size or heavier than the
input wire of each power supply. Minimum recommendations are 14 AWG (2 mm²) stranded wire,
60° C wire, or as permitted by local code.
55. A cable with an incorrectly attached lug can damage the ACX6160.
