attaching the ground wire to the router
• Crimping tool as specified by the ground lug manufacturer
• 6 or 8 AWG copper wire for the power cord
• 6 AWG or larger copper wire for the ground wire
• Wire-stripping tools appropriate to the wire you are using
Caution
Before making connections to the Cisco ASR 914 Router, ensure that you disconnect the power at the circuit
