CAUTION:
Before router installation begins, a licensed electrician must attach
a cable lug to the grounding and power cables that you supply. A cable with
an incorrectly attached lug can damage the router.
WARNING:
The Router is a pluggable type A equipment installed in restricted
access location. It has a separate protective earthing terminal (Metric [–M6]
and English [–¼-20] screw ground lugs) provided on the chassis in addition
to the grounding pin of the power supply cord. This separate protective earth
terminal must be permanently connected to earth.

CAUTION:
You must ensure that power connections maintain the proper
polarity. The power source cables might be labeled
their polarity. There is no standard color coding for DC power cables. The
color coding used by the external DC power source at your site determines
the color coding for the leads on the power cables that attach to the terminal
studs on each power supply.
