Cisco Systems AS5400XM quick start Chassis Ground Connection

Caution Do not place anything on top of the universal gateway that weighs more than 10 lb (4.5 kg). Excessive weight on top could damage the chassis.

Chassis Ground Connection

You must connect the chassis to a reliable earth ground by using the ground lug (provided) and size AWG 6 (13 mm2) wire.

To attach the chassis ground, follow these steps:

Step 1 Strip one end of the ground wire to expose approximately 0.75 in. (20 mm) of conductor.

Step 2 Crimp the ground wire to the ground lug, using a crimp tool of the appropriate size.

Step 3 Attach the ground lug to the chassis as shown in Figure 7 and Figure 8. Use a medium flat-blade screwdriver and the screws supplied with the ground lug. Tighten the screws to a torque of 8 to 10 in-lb (0.9 to 1.1 N-m).
