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.
