	Use a PGND wire to connect the screw to the earth ground, and the
	grounding resistance should not be greater than 5-ohm. Likewise, if the
	router is installed in a 19-inch standard rack, this rack is required to be
	grounded too.
	CAUTION: When the router is in normal operation, it is required to be
	well grounded. Otherwise, the router cannot reliably avoid lightning,
	which may damage the router itself and even the peer device.
