Attach the Grounding Lug
Note: Before you connect power or power
on your router, we strongly recommend that
you attach the grounding lug to the chassis
grounding receptacles.
1 Locate the grounding lug and screws.
2 Use the wire stripper to strip one end of
the 6-AWG wire approximately
0.75 inch (19.05 mm).
3 Insert the 6-AWG wire into the wire
receptacle on the grounding lug.
4 Use the crimping tool to carefully crimp
the wire receptacle around the wire; this
step is required to ensure a proper
mechanical connection.
5 Insert the two screws through the holes
in the grounding lug. Ensure that the
grounding lug does not interfere with
other router hardware.
6 Use a Phillips screwdriver to carefully
tighten the screws until the grounding
lug is held firmly to the chassis. Do not
overtighten the screws.
7 Connect the opposite end of the
grounding wire to the appropriate
grounding point at your site to ensure
an adequate chassis ground.
