Installation & Operation Manual 16. Hardware Installation
16.4 Lightning Protection
In addition to correct earthing, sufficient lightning protection must be included at the
site in order to prevent damage to the equipment. Damage to the equipment can result
either from a direct strike of lightning or from propagated high voltage surges.
In order to avoid damage caused by lightning surges, installation of equipment should
be compatible with Class 3 classification as defined by EN61000-4-5 Annex B, which
specifies that the surge level may not exceed 2kV.
16.5 Powering Up
After mounting the chassis and connecting it to the earth, the Mediant 8000 is ready to
power up.
Note: Prior to connecting the Mediant 8000 to the power supply, verify the
following:
• The Chassis is properly earthed (ensure that the earthing lugs are present and
connections on both ends of the cable are tight).
• All front and rear slots are occupied (either by board or by an appropriate blank
panel).
