Perform the following procedure to ground the router using a 2-hole lug and the corresponding mounting
point. Most carriers require a minimum 6 AWG ground connection. Verify your carrier’s requirements for
the ground connection.
Procedure
Step 1 If your ground wire is insulated, use a wire-stripping tool to strip the ground wire to 0.5 inch ± 0.02 inch (12.7
mm ±0.5 mm) As shown in the figure below.

Step 2 Slide the open end of your 2-hole ground lug over the exposed area of the ground wire.
Step 3 Using a crimping tool (as specified by the ground lug manufacturer), crimp the ground lug to the ground wire
as shown in figure below.

Step 4 Use a Phillips head screwdriver to attach the 2-hole ground lug and wire assembly to the router with the 2
pan-head Phillips head screws. For all racks, attach the 2-hole ground lug to the rear of the router.
Step 5 Connect the other end of the ground wire to a suitable grounding point at your site.
