Refer to your grounding plan for additional information.
Installing a ground bar
Install the NTBK80 Ground Bar for up to six Media Gateways with their
Expander. Install the NTDU6201 Ground Bar for up to 35 ground
connections. Reference to ground bar in this NTP refers to either the NTBK80
or the NTDU6201 Ground Bar.
WARNING
Correct grounding is very important. Failure to complete
the grounding procedures could result in a system that is
unsafe for the personnel using the equipment.
CAUTION — Service Interruption
If your system is not grounded correctly, it cannot be
protected from lightning or power surges, and it could be
subject to service interruptions. You must use insulated
ground wire for system grounding.
CAUTION — Service Interruption
To prevent ground loops, power all equipment from the
same dedicated electrical panel.
WARNING
For rack configurations, equipment must be powered
from the same electrical panel.
