Chapter 4 Cisco ASR 1006 Router Overview and Installation

Attaching a Chassis Ground Connection

Recommended Tools and Supplies

The following tools, equipment, and supplies necessary to connect the system ground to the chassis:

Phillips screwdriver

Dual-lug chassis ground component

Grounding wire

Use the following procedure to attach the grounding lug to the chassis ground connector on your chassis:

Step 1 Use the wire stripper to strip one end of the AWG #6 wire approximately 0.75 inches (19.05 mm). Step 2 Insert the AWG #6 wire 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 Attach the grounding lug with the wire so that the grounding wire does not overlap the power supply.

Step 5 Locate the chassis ground connector on the side of your chassis.

Step 6 Insert the two screws through the holes in the grounding lug.

Step 7 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 8 Connect the opposite end of the grounding wire to the appropriate grounding point at your site to ensure an adequate chassis ground.
