Step 1 Locate the chassis grounding receptacles on your router chassis. (See Figure 1-4in Chapter 1, “Cisco 7206VXR Overview.”)

Step 2 Insert the two screws through the holes in the grounding lug. (See Figure 3-14.) Ensure that the grounding lug does not interfere with other router hardware, such as power supplies or the network processing engine or network services engine.

Step 3 Use the Phillips screwdriver to carefully tighten the screws until the grounding lug is held firmly to the chassis. Do not overtighten the screws.

Step 4 Use the wire stripper to strip one end of the 6-AWG wire approximately 0.75 inches (19.05 mm). Step 5 Insert the 6-AWG wire into the wire receptacle on the grounding lug (See Figure 3-14.)

Step 6 Use the crimping tool to carefully crimp the wire receptacle around the wire; this step is required to ensure a proper mechanical connection.

Step 7 Connect the opposite end of the grounding wire to the appropriate grounding point at your site to ensure an adequate chassis ground.

This completes the procedure for providing a chassis ground connection.
