Supplemental Bonding and Grounding Connections

OL-11497-03
Follow the steps below to install a Cisco 12006 Router or Cisco 12406 Router on
a tabletop or stable flat surface. You can use the same mounting hardware that
secured your router to the shipping pallet to secure the chassis to a flat surface.
Move the router as close to the installation location as possible.
Do not lift the chassis by the blower module handle. This handle is designed to
support only the weight of the blower module.
With one person positioned at the front of the chassis and one at the rear, lift the
chassis off the pallet and position the chassis on the flat surface.
Secure the chassis to the flat surface to ensure that it does not fall off.
If the router is installed in a network equipment building system (NEBS)
environment, follow the guidelines in this section. For installations other than in
a NEBS environment, you may chose to rely on the safety earth ground
connection supplied via the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 320
inlets for AC-powered units and the main terminal block ground connection for
DC-powered units.
Even though the router chassis requires a safety earth ground connection as part
of the power cabling to the PDU, we strongly recommend that you connect the
central office ground system or interior equipment grounding system to the
supplemental bonding and grounding receptacle on the router chassis, which
satisfies the Telcordia NEBS requirement for supplemental bonding and
grounding connections. This receptacle consists of three threaded inserts located
on the side of the chassis near the back panel. (See
