Installing the Chassis Ground Connection

Warning

When installing the unit, the ground connection must always be made first and disconnected last. Statement

This unit is to be installed in a restrictive access location and must be permanently grounded to minimum 6

AWG copper ground wire.

Perform the following procedure to ground the Cisco ASR 907 Router using a 2-hole lug and the corresponding

mounting point. Most carriers require a minimum 6 AWG ground connection. Verify your carrier's requirements

for the ground connection.

Procedure

Step 1

If your ground wire is insulated, use a wire-stripping tool to strip the ground wire to 0.5 inch ± 0.02 inch (12.7

mm ±0.5 mm) As shown in the figure below.

Step 2

Slide the open end of your 2-hole ground lug over the exposed area of the ground wire.

Step 3

Using a crimping tool (as specified by the ground lug manufacturer), crimp the ground lug to the ground wire

as shown in figure below.

Use a Phillips head screwdriver to attach the 2-hole ground lug and wire assembly to the router with the 2
