Cisco XR 12404 Router Installation Guide

•
On Cisco XR 12404 Routers configured for DC-input operation, the DC PDU 
is equipped with a DC power connector block with wire-connection terminals 
for connecting the negative lead (top terminal), the positive lead (middle 
terminal), and the ground lead (bottom terminal). This is a safety feature.
Note
Cisco XR 12404 Router grounding architecture conforms to the DC-I 
(DC-isolated) method of grounding as described in Telcordia 
GR-1089-CORE. A DC-I architecture means that there is no connection 
between the DC return terminal and the frame ground. DC return and 
frame ground are isolated from one another at the router.
If the router is installed in a NEBS environment, we strongly recommend that you 
connect the central office ground system or interior equipment grounding system 
to the supplemental bonding and grounding point on the router chassis. This 
grounding point consists of threaded inserts is located on the side of the chassis 
near the back of the chassis (see 
). It is also referred to as the NEBS
bonding and grounding receptacle, and is intended to satisfy the Telcordia NEBS 
requirements for supplemental bonding and grounding connections.
