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 chassis ground connector is provided on each Cisco 7201 router chassis.
Figure 6 Locating the Chassis Ground Connector
Step 1 Use the wire stripper to strip one end of the 6-AWG wire approximately 0.75 inches (19.05 mm).
Step 2 Insert the 6-AWG wire into the wire receptacle on the grounding lug.
Step 3 Use the crimping tool to carefully crimp the wire receptacle around the wire; this step is required to ensure a proper
mechanical connection.
Figure 7 Attaching the Grounding Lug
Step 4 Attach the grounding lug with the wire on the left so the grounding wire does not overlap the power supply.
