MX480 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.
