absence of a suitably installed ground conductor. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority
or an electrician if you are uncertain that suitable grounding is available. Statement 1024
Before you connect power or turn on power to your chassis, you must provide an adequate chassis ground
(earth) connection for the chassis. A chassis ground connector is provided on each Cisco ASR 1001 Router.
There is a stud on the side of the chassis and on the DC power supply (primary grounding stud).
Caution The grounding wire is always the first to be installed or connected and the last to be removed or
disconnected.
Use the following procedure to attach the grounding lug to the chassis ground connector on your chassis:
SUMMARY STEPS
1. Use the wire stripper to strip one end of the AWG #6 wire approximately 0.75 inches (19.05 mm).
2. Insert the AWG #6 wire into the wire receptacle on the grounding lug.
3. Use the crimping tool to carefully crimp the wire receptacle around the wire; this step is required to ensure
a proper mechanical connection as shown in the next figure.
4. Attach the grounding lug with the wire so that the grounding wire does not overlap the power supply.
5. Locate the chassis ground connector on the side of your chassis.
6. Insert the two screws through the holes in the grounding lug.
7. 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.
8. Connect the opposite end of the grounding wire to the appropriate grounding point at your site to ensure
an adequate chassis ground.
