Avaya Media Gateway G700 Manuale Utente

Proper grounding of the G700 Media Gateway installation safeguards the system, users and 
service personnel by providing protection from lightning, power surges, AC mains faults, power 
crosses on central office trunks, and electrostatic discharge (ESD).

Local electrical installation codes must be followed when installing G700 Media Gateways.

!

WARNING:

Connection of both grounds (through the AC or DC Power Cord and the 
Supplementary Ground Conductor) is required for safe operation of the G700 
Media Gateway.

!

WARNING:

An improper ground can cause electrical shock as well as equipment failures and 
service outages.

1.  Remove the ground screw on the rear of the chassis adjacent to the ground symbol: 

2. Place the ring terminal of the 10 AWG (4.0 mm

screw on the chassis) to the length needed to terminate it into one of the terminals of the 
ground block. 

Do not coil the Supplementary Ground Conductor. 

5. Attach one end of the remaining 10 AWG (4mm

2

) ground wire to one of the terminals in the 

ground block and the other end to an approved ground. 

6. Cut this ground wire to the length needed to reach the approved ground. 

Do not coil this wire.
