together as described in the planning documents. When all the units are mounted, and cabled, you are ready
to connect to electrical ground conductors.

Attach Ground Conductors

To assure safe installation and operation, carefully read all requirements, recommendations and instructions.
Pay special attention to all CAUTION, WARNING, and DANGER statements.
!
CAUTION:
System grounding must comply with the general rules for grounding provided in Article 250
of the National Electrical Code (NEC), National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) 70, or the
applicable electrical code in the country of installation.

General Grounding Requirements

Two safety grounds are required to ensure safe operation of the G700 Media Gateway: the ground
conductor that is part of the AC power cord and the field-installed green/yellow conductor referred to
as the Supplementary Ground Conductor. Both safety grounds must be connected to an approved
ground. If a power cord accompanies the G700, use that cord whenever possible.
The customer must select a location for the G700 Media Gateway installation that is no more than 50
feet (15 m) from an approved ground. If this location requirement is not met, the customer must
contact a licensed electrician to install a Supplementary Ground Conductor per Article 250 of the
National Electrical Code (NEC).
