Grounding other rack-mounted components
To ground multiple pieces of equipment in a rack, use a separate ground
connection from each piece of equipment to the ground bar. If a piece of data
communications equipment in a rack does not have a grounding lug then
ground the rack to the ground bar.
When the rack is grounded to the ground bar, the equipment is grounded
using the Single Point Grounding method, as shown in Figure 22 on
.
IMPORTANT!
Power each Media Gateway and Media Gateway Expander pair from
the same electrical panel.
