Chapter 3 Installing the Cisco 10720 Internet Router Grounding the Cisco 10720 Internet Router Figure 3-8 Applying Rubber Feet to the Bottom of the Router Chassis 57854 Step 4 Pull the adhesive paper off the rubber feet and apply them to the bottom of the router. (See Figure 3-8.) Caution The front and back panels of the router require at least 6 inches clearance away from the wall or other items that can block proper airflow. The side panel requires 1 inch of clearance away from the wall or other items that can block proper airflow. The top and bottom of the router chassis do not require any specific clearance. Step 5 Turn the router over and set it on a desktop or other level surface that provides the necessary ventilation clearance. Grounding the Cisco 10720 Internet Router If the router is installed in a Network Equipment Building System (NEBS) environment, follow the guidelines in this section. For installations other than in a NEBS environment, you may chose to rely on the safety earth ground connection supplied via the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 320 plugs for the AC power supply and DC power supply. For additional NEBS information, see the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information for the Cisco 10720 document. Supplemental Unit Bonding and Grounding Guidelines If the router is not installed in a NEBS environment, you can bypass these guidelines and rely on the safety earth ground connection supplied via the IEC 320 plugs for the AC power supply and DC power supply. Bonding and grounding receptacles are intended to satisfy the Telcordia NEBS requirements for supplemental bonding and grounding connections. The router requires a safety earth ground connection as part of the power cabling to the AC and DC power supplies. We strongly recommend that you connect the central office (CO) ground system or interior equipment grounding system to the chassis. Grounding to the CO system or your interior equipment grounding system meets the NEBS bonding and grounding requirement. 78-13062-10 Cisco 10720 Internet Router Installation and Configuration Guide 3-9
