24 Quick Start for Hardware Installation Avaya G250 Media Gateway
Connecting Ground Conductors
To attach the ground wires:
1. Remove the ground screw on the rear of the chassis adjacent to the ground symbol.
2. Place the ring terminal of the 14 AWG (1.5 mm
2
) Supplementary Ground Conductor on the
screw.
3. Re-attach the ground screw on the chassis and securely tighten the screw so the screw
cannot be loosened without the use of a tool.
4. Attach the Supplementary Ground Conductor to an approved ground.
Using a Ground Block
A ground block might be provided for use with multiple Media Gateway installations. Usually, the
customer electrician mounts the ground block.
To attach the Supplementary Ground Conductor (that is already attached to the grounding
screw on the chassis) to a ground block:
1. Cut the Supplementary Ground Conductor to the length needed to terminate the conductor
into one of the terminals of the ground block. Do not coil the Supplementary Ground
Conductor.
2. Attach the remaining end of the Supplementary Ground Conductor to a terminal in the
ground block.
3. Cut this ground wire to the length needed to reach the approved ground. Do not coil this
wire.
