NEBS GR-1089 Compliance Requirements

The following notes and warnings apply to all NEBS compliant platforms:
Grounding requirements: To ground the equipment properly, connect a Panduit Corporation UL listed
Lug, P/N: LCD8-10AL to the two threaded holes located on the rear of each chassis and power supply
module. All connections should be made using 8AWG copper conductors.
Use Panduit Corporation, P/N: CT-940CH for crimping. (Each Module must have its own grounding
conductor.)
(GR-1089 requires treatment of ground connections and painted surfaces as needed during installation.)
All surfaces that are used for intentionally grounding the EUT shall be brought to a bright finish and an
anti oxidant solution must be applied to the surfaces being joined.
Non-conductive coatings (such as lacquer and enamel) must be removed from threads and other contact
surfaces to assure electrical conductivity.
(Thread forming screws with paint piercing washers may be used for this purpose during installation)
Warning. The intra-building interfaces of this platform, including Gigabit Ethernet, are suitable for
connection to intra-building or unexposed wiring or cabling only with shielded and grounded cables at
both ends. The intra-building of the equipment must not be metallically connected to interfaces that
connect to the OSP or its wiring.
Note. All bare conductors must be coated with an appropriate antioxidant compound before crimp connec-
tions are made. All unplated connectors, braided strap, and bus bars are to be brought to a bright finish and
then coated with an antioxidant before connecting them.
