Installing the Router Ground Connection
The router must be connected to a reliable earth ground. Install the ground wire in accordance with local
electrical safety standards.
•For NEC-compliant grounding, use size 14 AWG (2 mm2) or larger copper wire and a r ing termin al
with an inner diameter of 1/4 in. (5 to 7 mm).
•For EN/IEC 60950–compliant grounding, use size 18 AWG (1 mm2) or larger copper wire.
To install the ground connection, follow these steps:
Step1 Strip one end of the ground wire to the length required for the ground lug or terminal.
Step2 Crimp the ground wire to the ground lug or ring terminal, using the wire crimper.
Step3 Attach the ground lug or ring terminal to the chassis, as shown in Figure2-39. For a ground lug, use the
two provided screws with captive locking washers. For a ring terminal, use one of the screws provided.
Tighten the screws to a torque of 8 to 10in-lb (0.9 to 1.1 N-m).
