Task 2: Connect the Grounding Cables

All E-series routers have two grounding studs located in the rear of the
chassis, near the power inputs. Each stud provides grounding for a single
power unit.

To ground each power unit:

1

Locate the grounding studs on the E-series router (see

Figure 6-4

and

Figure 6-5

).

2

Remove the nuts and locking washers from the grounding studs.

Note: We recommend a minimum of 10-AWG ground wire with a ring style
terminal.

3

Place the grounding cable lead on one of the grounding studs and
tighten the nuts to secure the connection.

4

Connect the other end of the ground cable to the appropriate
ground termination lead.

5

Repeat steps 3–4 for the remaining grounding stud.

Note: When grounding an E-series router, leave a service loop in the grounding
cable to ensure that the grounding cable is the last cable to disconnect from the
shelf if strain is placed on the electrical cables.

Task 3: Connect the Power Cables

To connect power cables to an E-series router, follow these steps. Refer to

Figure 6-4

,

Figure 6-5

, and

Figure 6-6

as needed.

ERX-7xx models, ERX-14xx models,

Caution: Before you begin this procedure, ensure that all power switches are in
the OFF position.

1

Be sure you have completed Task 1 and Task 2 in the previous
sections.

2

If applicable, loosen the screws from the clear power input module
cover and remove it.

Warning: Be sure the power source is turned off, the E-series router is turned off,
and proper grounding wires are attached before continuing with this procedure.
