Figure 12 Installing the Chassis Ground Connection
Install the Chassis Ground
Note The grounding lug and Phillips screws are not available from Cisco Systems. Get the grounding lug from an
electrical-connector vendor and the screws from a hardware vendor. See “Tools and Parts” section on page 6 for the
parts needed.
Step 1 Locate the chassis ground connector (1) on the rear of your router chassis.
Step 2 Insert the two screws (3) through the holes in the grounding lug (2).
Step 3 Ensure that the grounding lug does not interfere with other router hardware, such as power supplies or the network
processing engine (NPE) or network services engine (NSE).
Step 4 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 5 Use the wire stripper to strip one end of the 6-AWG wire approximately 0.75 inches (19.05 mm).
Step 6 Insert the 6-AWG wire (4) into the wire receptacle on the grounding lug.
Step 7 Use the crimping tool to carefully crimp the wire receptacle around the wire; this step is required to ensure a proper
mechanical connection.
Step 8 Connect the opposite end of the grounding wire to the appropriate grounding point at your site to ensure an adequate
chassis ground.
