CAUTION
For the NEBS-compliant installation of Brocade NetIron XMR 4000, 8000, and 16000 routers
with AC and DC systems, use a ground wire of at least 6 American Wire Gauge (AWG). The ground
wire should have an agency-approved crimped connector (provided with the device) 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, insure the bare copper wire has been cleaned and
antioxidant is applied to the bare wire.
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.
