Installing a 19-inch rack-mounted termination panel
Install a 19” rack-mounted termination panel if you want to install the
termination panels in a rack or cabinet. You can use 19” termination panels
with any Nortel Networks Multiservice Switch device.
Prerequisites
• Ground yourself to an appropriate anti-static discharge device while
handling the termination panel.
Procedure steps
1 Make sure that there is bare metal on the rear portion of both ends of the
termination panel.
2 If you are installing the first termination panel, connect the grounding lead
(supplied separately by Nortel Networks) to the top right securing screw.
See the figure
“Grounding 19” termination panels” (page 241).
or
If you are installing the lowest termination panel in the rack, secure the
bottom of the grounding strip and a ground wire to the rack with a screw.
3 Secure the termination panel to the frame with the 4 screws provided.
Leave the bottom right screw loose.
4 Insert the grounding strip between the termination panel and the rack.
See the figure “Grounding 19” termination panels” (page 241).
5 Tighten the bottom right screw. Ensure that the bottom notch of the
grounding strip allows access to the next screw hole.
6 Secure the grounding lead to one of the frame grounding points.
7 If you are installing a subsequent termination panel, ensure that it is
grounded to the previous one with a grounding strip.
If you are installing 1-unit-high termination panels, you must overlap the
grounding strips along the frame of the cabinet before you attach the
screw.
