Install the MXK
34 MXK Hardware Installation Guide
Grounding and isolation
The MXK system cards and subassemblies use an integrated frame and logic
ground system as follows:
• The MXK system chassis and logic ground are bonded.
• The two-wire power supply feed is not connected to the chassis.
• Cable shielding is terminated on the MXK system chassis ground.
Select the system location
Ensure that the environment is free of dust and excessive moisture, not
exposed to the elements or temperature extremes, and has sufficient
ventilation.
Install the system in reasonable proximity to all equipment with which it will
connect. Ensure that proper cable grades are used for all system and network
connections. For best results, use the cables and connectors recommended in
this document.
