You will need the following tools and materials to install the EdgeMarc:

  • (1) Flat or Phillips Screwdriver—For shelf mounting.
  • Ethernet cables—To connect the LAN ports to LAN switches or to individual VoIP devices.

Power Surge Protection and Grounding

EdgeMarc units are designed with a robust internal surge protection system. For surge protection to function during all events, the EdgeMarc supplemental ground (the AC power cord) must be connected with a low impedance conductor directly to the same ground point as the service providers’ equipment.

Warning

This equipment must be grounded. Never defeat the ground conductor or operate the equipment in the absence of a suitably installed ground conductor. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority or an electrician if you are uncertain that suitable grounding is available.


Caution

Under certain conditions, if the EdgeMarc is not properly earth-grounded using the AC power cord, you may experience various issues including electrostatic discharge problems, random EdgeMarc reboots, or damage to the EdgeMarc unit.

Note

The EdgeMarc 4808 and EdgeMarc 4806 appliance has an internal power supply with a grounded power cord that must be connected to a properly grounded power outlet.

Grounding the EdgeMarc

Any ground source that is adequate for power circuits or lightning protection is sufficient for protection against static electricity. This system provides an electrically conductive pathway for static electricity to follow and safely dissipate into the ground. The grounding impedance to ground must not exceed 0.5 ohm. It is recommended that a minimum 14 AWG be used to ground the unit. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority or an electrician if you are uncertain that suitable grounding is available or the local applicable standard.
