Chassis Ground Connection Installation
Before you connect power or turn on power to your router, you must provide an adequate chassis ground (earth) connection
for the router chassis. A ground connector is provided on each Cisco ASR 1006 Router. See Figure7.
Caution The dual-lug chassis stud must be installed, the SIP and SPA must be fully inserted and screwed in and earthed to
prevent a potential hazard in a telecom line.
Have the recommended tools and supplies available before you begin this procedure: Phillips screwdriver, dual-lug chassis
ground component, and grounding wire.
Step1 Use the wire stripper to strip one end of the AWG #6 gauge wire approximately 0.75 inches (19.05 mm).
Step2 Insert the AWG #6 gauge wire into the wire receptacle on the grounding lug.
Step3 Use the crimping tool to carefully crimp the wire receptacle around the wire; this step is required to ensure a proper
mechanical connection.
Step4 Attach the grounding lug with the wire so the grounding wire does not overlap the power supply.

Step5 Locate the chassis ground connector on the side of your chassis.
Step6 Insert the two screws through the holes in the grounding lug.
Step7 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.
