Installing Generic Modules

Installing generic modules includes installing the memory, ESM cards, and FICs. For more information
about the memory and ESM cards and their installation, refer to Chapter 6 “Hardware Maintenance” in

this manual. For more information about FICs and their installation, refer to MSR Series Routers Interface

Module Manual.

Connecting the PGND Cable

WARNING!

The correct connection of the protection ground (PGND) cable on the router chassis is an essential
safeguard against lightning strokes and EMI. You need to correctly connect the PGND cable when
installing or using the router.

The power input end of MSR 20 router is connected to a noise filter. The neutral point of the noise filter

is directly connected to the chassis and is called protection ground (PGND). The PGND wire must be well

grounded, so as to safely conduct the faradism and leaky electricity to the earth ground, and thereby

improve the capability of the whole device to guard against the electromagnetic interference. This PGND

wire can also protect the router against the lightning caused by the connection with the external network

lines, such as E1/T1 line, ISDN/PSTN line.
The grounding screw of MSR 20 Router, which is marked with grounding label, is located near the AC

power socket and its switch on the rear panel of the chassis, as shown in the following figure:
