Installing a Brocade MLXe-32 router
2
For the NEBS-compliant installation of 32-slot routers with AC and DC systems, use a ground wire
of at least 2 American Wire Gauge (AWG). The ground wire should have an agency-approved
crimped connector (provided with the device) attached to one end, with the other end attached to
building ground. The connector must be crimped with the proper tool, allowing it to be connected
to both ground screws on the enclosure. Before crimping the ground wire into the provided
ground lug, ensure the bare copper wire has been cleaned and antioxidant is applied to the bare
wire.
To ensure adequate bonding when attaching the ground lug, a minimum of 20 PSI of torque is
required to be applied to the mounting hardware used to attach the ground lug.

connections to the power supply.

This equipment installation must meet NEC/CEC code requirements. Consult local authorities for
regulations.
