3Com 5000 Network Router User Manual


 
Power Cords, Grounds and Cables 27
Use a PGND wire to connect the screw to the earth ground, and the
grounding resistance should not be greater than 5-ohm. Likewise, if the
router is installed in a 19-inch standard rack, this rack is required to be
grounded too.
CAUTION: When the router is in normal operation, it is required to be
well grounded. Otherwise, the router cannot reliably avoid lightning,
which may damage the router itself and even the peer device.
Power Cord The user is provided with two types of the Router 5000: AC-powered and
DC-powered. Except for the input power, these two types have exactly
the same features and functions.
