Connect a CSG2500 Appliance
This article describes how to connect a Cloud Services Gateway (CSG) 2500 appliance to an AC power source and to a
management console.
Versa Networks recommends that you use an uninterruptible power strategy that prevents power interruptions. A UPS
can isolate unpredictable power outages or blackouts, brownouts, lightning, power surges, or spikes.
Step 1: Connect Earth Ground to a CSG2500 Appliance
1. To ensure proper operation of a CSG2500 appliance and to meet safety and electrostatic discharge (ESD)
requirements, you must connect the appliance to earth ground before you connect power to the appliance.
2. Ensure that the rack is properly grounded and in compliance with ETSI ETS 300 253. Verify that there is a good
electrical connection to the grounding point on the rack and that the grounding point has no paint or isolating
surface treatment.
3. Attach the grounding wire (#18 AWG) to the grounding point on the device's rear panel.
4. Connect the other end of the wire to rack ground.
Caution: The earth connection must not be removed unless all supply connections are disconnected.
Step 2: Connect AC Power to a CSG2500 Appliance
Before you begin connecting AC power to a CSG2500 appliance, ensure that you have:
• Electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap.
