76 7705 SAR-M Chassis Installation Guide
CBN and IBN Grounding Requirements
The 7705 SAR-M supports both Common Bonding Networks (CBN) and Isolated Bonding 
Networks (IBN) for systems using a DC power source. The battery terminals (labeled 
+Batt A, –Batt A, +Batt B, and –Batt B on the chassis) are floating inputs relative to digital 
or chassis ground within the chassis. For systems using an AC power source, only CBN is 
supported and battery terminals labeled +Batt A and +Batt B on the chassis must always tie 
to the earth ground. 
For information on grounding the chassis and connecting the AC or DC supply, refer to 
Chassis Ground Wiring, Wiring and Connecting AC Power, and Wiring and Connecting DC 
Power.
Power and Cabling Requirements
Warning: 
• In an IBN installation, the chassis ground terminal must be connected to ground at the 
building ground point in the IBN zone.
• In a CBN installation, if you use the 7705 SAR-M chassis ground stud (located on the 
right-hand side mounting bracket) to connect the chassis ground terminal(s) to the 
frame ground on the rack, then you must use a second nut on the stud to secure the 
attachment. The first nut is used to secure the building ground point wire to the chassis 
ground stud.
Danger: 
• Only electrical service personnel should perform wiring and cabling to the system.
• Power cable(s) must meet local electrical code requirements.
• All power to the equipment rack or cabinet should be disconnected before the 
installation.
• An external circuit breaker or fuse must be located conveniently close to the equipment. 
This is intended as the disconnect device.
• When removing DC power cables from the system, first disconnect the power from the 
source and then disconnect the cables from the 7705 SAR-M.
