Setup Guide

NEBs Compliance

For your system to be network equipment building system (NEBs) compliant,

you must follow the instructions detailed in this chapter.

To be NEBs compliant, you must orient your system in the rack so that the air

inlet is from the front aisle and the air exhaust is to the rear aisle.

Important Information

WARNING: The quad form-factor pluggable (QSFP), console, Ethernet

management, and universal serial bus (USB) ports are suitable for

connection to intra-building or unexposed wiring or cabling only. You

MUST NOT metallically connect the ports to interfaces that connect to

the out side plant (OSP) or its wiring. Use these interfaces as intra-

building interfaces only (Type 2 or Type 4 ports as described in

GR-1089-CORE, Issue 6) and they require isolation from the exposed

OSP cabling. Adding primary protectors is not sufficient protection to

connect these interfaces metallically to OSP wiring.

WARNING: If you install and connect the S6100-ON to a commercial

AC power source, you must connect the system to an external special

protection device (SPD).

To be NEBs compliant, you must follow these regulations.

• Locate your system in a restricted-access area were only trained

personnel are allowed access.

• Install and connect your system to the common bonding network (CBN).

• You can also install and connect your system to the central office.

• Connect the battery returns of your system as DC-I.

• Ground your system using a copper ground conductor.

• Clean and coat all bare grounding connection points on your system with

an anti-oxidant solution before making connections.
