STORAGE ENCLOSURE BONDING AND GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS
This section provides guidelines for installing storage enclosures for compliance with NEBS
Bonding and Grounding requirements of GR-1089-CORE, Issue 6. These bonding and
grounding connections satisfy the Telcordia NEBS requirements for supplemental bonding and
grounding connections. If you are not installing the equipment in a NEBS environment, you
can choose to bypass these guidelines and rely on the safety earth ground connections to the
DC PDUs.
Use the following guidelines when grounding equipment:
Ground equipment to a Common Bonding Network.
Use only copper wire cables for grounding purposes.
Ensure the equipment’s battery return terminals are in the configuration of an isolated
DC Return (DC-I), which means the equipment is grounded at the battery source.
Install equipment in a secured or controlled area that restricts access to trained
personnel when installing equipment in network telecommunication facilities. The
equipment should not be accessible to untrained personnel or the general public
without proper authorization and supervision.
