Chassis Ground Connection Installation
Before you connect power or turn on power to your router, you must provide an adequate chassis ground (earth) connection for the router chassis. A ground connector is provided on each Cisco ASR 1006 Router. See Figure 7.
Caution The
Have the recommended tools and supplies available before you begin this procedure: Phillips screwdriver,
Step 1 Use the wire stripper to strip one end of the AWG #6 gauge wire approximately 0.75 inches (19.05 mm). Step 2 Insert the AWG #6 gauge wire into the wire receptacle on the grounding lug.
Step 3 Use the crimping tool to carefully crimp the wire receptacle around the wire; this step is required to ensure a proper mechanical connection.
Step 4 Attach the grounding lug with the wire so the grounding wire does not overlap the power supply.
