Connect the PTX10002-36QDD to Power
Connect the PTX10002-36QDD to Ground
To meet safety and EMI requirements and to ensure proper operation, you must connect the chassis to earth ground before you connect it to power. You must use the protective earthing terminal on the router chassis to connect it to earth ground. For installations that require a separate grounding conductor to the chassis, use the protective earthing terminal on the router chassis to connect to the earth ground.
An HVAC/HVDC-powered PTX10002-36QDD gains additional grounding when you plug the power supply unit (PSU) in the device into a grounded power outlet by using a power cord appropriate for your geographical location. See Table 3.
Before you connect the chassis to earth ground, ensure that a licensed electrician has attached the protective earthing terminal lug (provided in the accessory kit) to the grounding cable that you supply. A cable with an incorrectly attached lug can damage the router (for example, by causing a short circuit).
Mount the router before attaching the grounding lug to the PTX10002-36QDD. See Unpack and Mount the PTX10002-36QDD.
You must install the router in a restricted-access location and ensure that the chassis is always properly grounded. The router has a two-hole protective grounding terminal on the rear panel. Under all circumstances, use this grounding connection to ground the chassis. For HVAC/HVDC-powered systems, you must also use the grounding wire in the power cord along with the two-hole protective grounding lug connection. This tested system meets or exceeds all applicable EMC regulatory requirements with the two-hole protective grounding terminal.
Before you connect the router to ground, ensure that you have the following parts and tools available:
Grounding lug for your grounding cable—The grounding lug required is a Panduit LCDX4-14AH-L or equivalent—provided.
Grounding cable—The grounding cable must be 4 AWG (25 mm²), minimum 75° C wire, or as permitted by the local code—not provided.
Two M6 screws and washers—not provided.
A screwdriver appropriate for the screws—not provided.
To connect the router to ground:
Connect HVAC/HVDC Power to the PTX10002-36QDD
Before you begin connecting HVAC/HVDC power:
Read AC Power Electrical Safety Guidelines and General Safety Guidelines and Warnings.
Ensure that you have taken the necessary precautions to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage (see Prevention of Electrostatic Discharge Damage).
Ensure that you have connected the router chassis to earth ground (see Connect the PTX10002-36QDD to Ground).
Note:An HVAC/HVDC-powered router gains additional grounding when you plug the PSU in the device into a grounded power outlet by using a power cord appropriate for your geographical location. See Table 3.
Install the PSU in the chassis by following the instructions in Install a Power Supply Unit in a PTX10002-36QDD.
Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available:
An ESD grounding strap—not provided
A power cord appropriate for your geographical location (see Table 3)—provided.
You must connect each PSU to a dedicated power source outlet.
To connect HVAC/HVDC power:
Connect DC Power to the PTX10002-36QDD
Before you begin connecting DC power:
Read DC Power Electrical Safety Guidelines and DC Power Electrical Safety Warnings.
Ensure that you have taken the necessary precautions to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage (see Prevention of Electrostatic Discharge Damage).
Ensure that you have connected the router chassis to earth ground (see Connect the PTX10002-36QDD to Ground).
CAUTION:Before you connect power to the router, a licensed electrician must attach a cable lug to the power cables that you supply. A cable with an incorrectly attached lug can damage the router (for example, by causing a short circuit).
Install the PSU in the chassis by following the instructions in Install a Power Supply Unit in a PTX10002-36QDD.
Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available:
An ESD grounding strap—not provided
- Power cables—The power cables must be 4 AWG (25 mm²), minimum 75° C wire, or as permitted by the local code—not provided.
Power cable lugs for your power cables—The power cable lugs required is a Panduit LCD4-14AH-L or equivalent—provided.
A number 1 Phillips (+) screwdriver—not provided
Four hex nuts to secure the power cables to the terminal studs and a wrench to tighten the hex nuts—provided
Heat-shrink tubing and a heat gun to shrink the tubing—not provided
You must connect each PSU to a dedicated power source outlet.
To connect DC power:
