Connecting the Chassis Ground and Power

Before you connect power or turn on power to the Cisco ASR 901 10G router, you must provide an adequate chassis ground (earth) connection to your router.

Grounding the Cisco ASR 901 10G Router

The Cisco ASR 901 10G router provides a grounding point on the rear of the unit for a 2-hole lug.

To ensure the chassis ground connection that you provide is adequate, you need the following parts and tools:

Ratcheting torque screwdriver with Phillips head that exerts up to 15 pound-force inches (lbf-in) of pressure for attaching the ground wire to the router.

Crimping tool as specified by the ground lug manufacturer

16-AWG copper wire for the power cord

Appropriate wire-stripping tools

Caution Before making connections to the Cisco ASR 901 10G router, ensure that you disconnect the power at the circuit breaker. Otherwise it may result in severe injury to yourself, or damage to the router.

Warning This equipment must be grounded. Never defeat the ground conductor or operate the equipment in the absence of a suitably installed ground conductor. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority or an electrician if you are uncertain that suitable grounding is available. Statement 1024

Warning Use copper conductors only. Statement 1025

Warning When installing the unit, the ground connection must always be made first and disconnected last. Statement 42
