Figure 9 Attaching the Grounding Lug and Wire to the Chassis
Note The grounding lug and Phillips screws are not available from Cisco Systems. Get the grounding lug from an
electrical-connector vendor and the screws from a hardware vendor. See Page 4 for the parts needed.
Step 1 Use the wire stripper to strip one end of the 6-AWG wire approximately 0.75 inches (19.05 mm).
Step 2 Insert the 6-AWG wire (4) into the wire receptacle on the grounding lug.
Step 3 Use the crimping tool to carefully crimp the wire receptacle around the wire; this step is required to ensure a proper
mechanical connection.
Step 4 Locate the chassis ground connector (1) on the rear of your router chassis.
Step 5 Insert the two screws (3) through the holes in the grounding lug (2).
Step 6 Use the Number 2 Phillips screwdriver to carefully tighten the screws until the grounding lug is held firmly to the
chassis. Do not overtighten the screws.
Step 7 Connect the opposite end of the grounding wire to the appropriate grounding point at your site to ensure an adequate
chassis ground.
