To connect the device to the power supply:

  1. Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap to your bare wrist, and connect the other end of the ESD strap to the ESD point on the rack.
  2. Insert the appliance coupler end of a power cord into the appliance inlet on the power supply faceplate.
  3. Insert the plug into an AC power source receptacle.

Note: The device must be connected to earth ground during normal operation. The protective earthing terminal on the rear of the chassis is provided to connect the device to ground.

Caution: We recommend using a surge protector for the power connection.

Note: Use the cable tie holder to secure the power cord on to the power supply point.

Note: We strongly recommend that you use only the 3-pin power cord supplied with your services gateway. If you are using a 2-pin power cord, then ensure that your device is adequately grounded using the grounding point available on back panel of chassis.
