Connect a CSG300 Series Appliance
This article describes how to connect a CSG300 series appliance to an AC power source and to a management
console.
Step 1: Connect Earth Ground to a CSG300 Series Appliance
To ensure proper operation of a CSG300 series appliance and to meet safety and electromagnetic interference (EMI)
requirements, you must connect the appliance to earth ground before you connect power to the appliance.
The CSG300 series appliance requires a three-prong power cable. You must connect the appliance to earth ground
before you connect power to the appliance:
1. Connect one end of the grounding cable to a proper earth ground, such as the rack in which the CSG300
series appliance is mounted.
2. Secure the grounding lug to the protective grounding terminal with washers and screws.
Step 2: Connect AC Power to a CSG300 Series Appliance
Before you begin connecting AC power to a CSG300 series appliance, ensure that you have:
• Electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap.
• AC power cord shipped with the appliance. The cord has plugs appropriate for your geographical location.
To connect a CSG300 series appliance to an AC power source:
1. Attach one end of the ESD grounding strap to your bare wrist, and connect the other end to the ESD point on
the rack.
2. Plug one end of the AC power cord into the power supply in the appliance.
3. Plug the other end of the AC power cord into an AC power source outlet.
4. Plug the DC end of the power supply unit into the back of the CSG300 series appliance.
Step 3: Connect a CSG300 Series Appliance to a Management Console
You can configure and manage a CSG300 series appliance using a management console. Use a cable with an RJ-45
connector to connect the CSG300 series appliance to the management console.
