NEBS Bonding and Grounding Points (Rear of Chassis) - Fixed Configuration AC
Power Shown
To connect the chassis to a NEBS-compliant bonding and grounding system at your site, you must have
the following:
•
One grounding lug that has two M6 bolt holes with 0.625 inches (15.86 mm) spacing between them,
and a wire receptacle large enough to accept a 6-AWG or larger multistrand copper wire. The lug is
similar to the straight type used for the DC-input power, as shown in
.
•
Four M6 or equivalent hex-head nuts with integrated locking washers are shipped pre-installed on
the inside of the chassis.
•
Eight M6 or equivalent hex-head bolts with integrated locking washers are shipped pre-installed on
the outside of the chassis.
Note
The chassis ground wire connectors have a torque value of 30 in.-lb (3.39 N-m).
•
Grounding wire. Although we recommend at least 6-AWG multistrand copper wire, the actual wire
diameter and length depend on your router location and site environment. This wire is not available
from Cisco Systems; it is available from any commercial cable vendor. The wire should be sized
according to local and national installation requirements.
Caution
The DC Return of the Cisco CRS 8-slot chassis should remain isolated from the system frame and
chassis (DC-I: Isolated DC Return).
