CAUTION
For the NEBS-compliant installation of Brocade MLX 4-, 8-, and 16-slot routers with AC and DC

have an agency-approved crimped connector (provided with the router) attached to one end, with
the other end attached to building ground. The connector must be crimped with the proper tool,
allowing it to be connected to both ground screws on the enclosure. Before crimping the ground
wire into the provided ground lug, ensure the bare copper wire has been cleaned and antioxidant

CAUTION
To ensure adequate bonding when attaching the ground lug, a minimum of 20 PSI of torque is
required to be applied to the mounting hardware used to attach the ground lug.
