Juniper PTX10001-36MR - Connect the PTX10001-36 MR to Ground

Connect the PTX10001-36MR to Ground
To meet safety and electromagnec interference (EMI) requirements and to ensure proper operaon,
you must connect the chassis to earth ground before you connect it to power. For installaons that
require a separate grounding conductor to the chassis, use the protecve earthing terminal on the
PTX10001-36MR chassis to connect to the earth ground.
NOTE: An AC-powered PTX10001-36MR gains addional grounding when you plug the power
supply into a grounded AC power outlet by using an AC power cord appropriate for your
geographical locaon. See "PTX10001-36MR Power System" on page 25.
CAUTION: Before you connect power to the PTX10001-36MR, a licensed electrician
must aach a cable lug to the grounding cables and power cables that you supply. A
cable with an incorrectly aached lug can damage the PTX10001-36MR (for example,
by causing a short circuit).
NOTE: Mount your device in the rack before aaching the grounding lug to the switch. See
"Unpack and Mount the PTX10001-36MR" on page 78.
NOTE: You must install the PTX10001-36MR in a restricted-access locaon and ensure that the
chassis is always properly grounded. The PTX10001-36MR has a two-hole protecve grounding
terminal provided on the chassis. See Figure 29 on page 87. We recommend that you use this
protecve grounding terminal as the preferred method for grounding the chassis regardless of
the power supply conguraon. However, if addional grounding methods are available, you can
also use those methods. For example, you can use the grounding wire in the AC power cord or
use the grounding terminal or lug on a DC power supply. This tested system meets or exceeds all
applicable EMC regulatory requirements with the two-hole protecve grounding terminal.
Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available (none are provided):
• Grounding cable—The grounding cable must be 8 AWG (8.4 mm²), minimum 90° C wire, or as
permied by the local code.
• Grounding lug for your grounding cable—The grounding lug required is a Panduit LCD6-14AH-L or
equivalent.
• Two M6 x 10 mm screws and washers.
