Documentation Updates

Update to the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information

The Regulatory Compliance Standards section of the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information for

the Cisco ME 3400 and Cisco ME 2400 Ethernet Access Switches includes this new section:

Cautions and Regulatory Compliance Statements for NEBS

This section includes the cautions and regulatory compliance statements for the Network

Equipment-Building System (NEBS) certification from the Telcordia Electromagnetic Compatibility

and Electrical Safety - Generic Criteria for Network Telecommunications Equipment (A Module of

LSSGR, FR-64; TSGR, FR-440; and NEBSFR, FR-2063) Telcordia Technologies Generic

Requirements, GR-1089-CORE, Issue 4, June 2006.

Table 4 NEBS Compliance Statements

Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to a bare metal surface.

Caution To comply with the Telcordia GR-1089 NEBS standard for electromagnetic compatibility

and safety, for Ethernet RJ-45 ports, use only shielded Ethernet cables that are grounded on

both ends. In a NEBS installation, all Ethernet ports are limited to intrabuilding wiring.

Caution The intrabuilding ports of the equipment or subassembly is only suitable for connection to

intrabuilding or unexposed wiring or cabling. The intrabuilding ports of the equipment or

subassembly MUST NOT be metallically connected to interfaces that connect to the OSP or

its wiring. These interfaces are designed for use only as intrabuilding interfaces (Type 2 or

Type 4 ports as described in GR-1089-CORE, Issue 4), and require isolation from the

exposed OSP cabling. The addition of primary protectors is not sufficient protection in order

to connect these interfaces metallically to OSP wiring.

Products that have an AC power connection are intended for deployments where an external surge

protective device (SPD) is used at the AC power service equipment as defined by the National Electric

Code (NEC).

This product is designed for a common bonding network (CBN) installation.

This product can be installed in a network telecommunication facility or location where the NEC

applies.

An electrical conducting path should exist between the product chassis and the metal surface of the

enclosure or rack in which it is mounted or to a grounding conductor. Electrical continuity should be

provided by using thread-forming type mounting screws that remove any paint or nonconductive

coatings and establish a metal-to-metal contact. Any paint or other nonconductive coatings should be

removed on the surfaces between the mounting hardware and the enclosure or rack. The surfaces

should be cleaned and an antioxidant applied before installation.
