Installing the Hardware

All surfaces that are used for intentionally grounding the EUT 
shall be brought to a bright finish and an anti oxidant solution 
must be applied to the surfaces being joined.

Non-conductive coatings (such as lacquer and enamel) must be 
removed from threads and other contact surfaces to assure 
electrical conductivity.

(Thread forming screws with paint piercing washers may be 
used for this purpose during installation)

Warning. The intra-building interfaces of this platform, 
including Gigabit Ethernet, are suitable for connection to 
intra-building or unexposed wiring or cabling only with 
shielded and grounded cables at both ends. The intra-building 
ports of the equipment must not be metallically connected to 
interfaces that connect to the OSP or its wiring.

Note. All bare conductors must be coated with an appro-
priate antioxidant compound before crimp connections are 
made. All unplated connectors, braided strap, and bus bars 
are to be brought to a bright finish and then coated with an 
antioxidant before connecting them.

A single OS6850 weighs approximately 14 lbs 
(6.24 Kgs). A stack of eight OS6850 switches weighs
