Mounting the Router on a Tabletop

When mounting the router on a tabletop, ensure that the surface is clean and you have considered the following:

The table is sturdy and well grounded.

10 cm (3.9 in.) clearance is available around the sides of the chassis for heat dissipation.

Do not place any heavy object on the chassis.

WARNING: The normal connection of the protection ground (PGND) on the router chassis is an essential safeguard against lightning shocks and interference. You must correctly connect the PGND when installing or using the router.

As shown in the following figure, the router provides a protection ground (PGND) screw at the top right-rear of the chassis. You must securely connect it to the earth ground to safely channel faradic current and leakage electricity to the ground and have the device less susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI). The PGND also protects the system against the high voltage of lightning shocks caused by external network lines like E1/T1 and ISDN/PSTN lines.
