This unit is to be installed in a restrictive access location and must be permanently grounded to minimum 6-AWG copper ground wire.

Complete the following steps to ground the Cisco ASR 901 router using a 2-hole lug and the corresponding mounting point. Most carriers require a 6-AWG ground connection. Verify your carrier’s requirements for the ground connection.

Step 1 In the accessory kit, locate the 2-hole lug, 2 pan-head Phillips head screws used to attach the lug to the router, and 6-AWG ground wire. (Lug, screws, and wire are part number 32-0629-01.)

Step 2 Set the parts aside.

Step 3 If your ground wire is insulated, use a wire-stripping tool to strip the ground wire to 0.5 inch ± 0.02 inch (12.7 mm ±0.5 mm) for the ring terminal (Figure 3-4).
