1. Use a tape measure or level to verify that the tray is installed straight and the holes at either ends of the
rack align properly.
Note: The two extended ear brackets in the rack-mount kit have different part numbers and are not
interchangeable.
Note: You may need to adjust the position of the extended ear brackets to match the depth of your rack.
Tip: It is recommended that you retain the dust covers on any unused ports.
Connect the vEdge 1000 Router
This article describes how to connect the vEdge 1000 router to system ground, an AC power source, a
management console, and to a network for out-of-band-management.
Step 1: Connect Earth Ground to the Router
To meet safety and electromagnetic interference (EMI) requirements and to ensure proper operation of your
vEdge 1000 router, connect the router to earth ground before you power it on. To do so, you need a number
2 Phillips (+) screwdriver.
To connect system ground to the vEdge 1000 router (see Figure 1):
1. Connect one end of the grounding cable to a proper earth ground, such as the rack in which the router is
mounted.
2. Secure the grounding lug to the protective grounding terminal with the washers and screws. If you are
using the cable clamp to secure the power cords, slide the grounding lug onto the screw before the cable
clamp.
3. Dress the grounding cable, and make sure that it does not touch or block access to other router components.
