Required Tools, Wires, and Cables

Cabling your system should take only a few minutes. You will need the items
listed below and in Table 7 for proper installation.
Table 7: Required Cables
Connection
Management connection between SRP I/O module and the
LAN
Management connection between SRP I/O module and a
management console
Direct connections to I/O modules
NOTE: If you plan on using a cable-management bracket (ERX-7xx/14xx models
only), install it before you begin cabling your E-series router. Cable-management
brackets are helpful to keep network interface cables untangled and orderly
and to prevent cables from hindering access to other slots. See "Installing a
Cable-Management Bracket on ERX-7xx Models" on page 96 in "Maintaining
E-series Routers" on page 81.

ground (earth) wire to the ground terminal.
Power input module wiring—We recommend a minimum of 8-AWG wire for
ERX-14xx models, 12-AWG wire for ERX-7xx models, and 14-AWG wire for

For the ERX-310 router AC model, use a standard IEC power cord.
Note that the distance from the connection point and the configuration of the
system should also be considered when determining the size of wire used.
