Connecting the Equipment to the AC Power Supply

As there is no mains power switch fitted to this unit, ensure the local AC power
supply is switched OFF before connecting the supply cord.
Connect the mains lead to the equipment and then to the local supply.

2.6

Protective Earth/Technical Earth

Warning!

This unit must be correctly earthed through the molded plug supplied. If the local
mains supply does not have an earth conductor do not connect the unit. Contact
Ericsson Customer Services for advice.

Before connecting the unit to the supply, check the supply requirements in Annex B.

The terminal marked at the rear panel is a Technical Earth. Its use is
recommended. This is NOT a protective earth for electric shock protection. The
terminal is provided to:

• Ensure all equipment chassis fixed within a rack are at the same technical earth

potential. To do this, connect a wire between the Technical Earth terminal and a
suitable point on the rack.

• Eliminate the migration of stray charges when connecting between equipment.

The Technical Earth provides a suitable connection between the equipment and the
installation to give a low impedance path at normal operating frequencies.
