MX960 Chassis Grounding Points Specifications
To meet safety and electromagnetic interference (EMI) requirements and to ensure proper operation, the
router must be adequately grounded before power is connected. To ground AC-powered and DC-powered
routers, you must connect a grounding cable to earth ground and then attach it to the chassis grounding
points using the two screws provided. Two threaded inserts (PEM nuts) are provided on the right of the
lower rear of the chassis for connecting the router to earth ground (see
Figure 50 on page
199).
