• Grounding cable for your MX10004 (not provided)—The grounding cable must be 4 AWG (21.1 mm²)
stranded wire and should be rated 75 °C or per local electrical code.
• Grounding lug for your grounding cable (provided)—This bracket attaches to the lower left corner of
the router chassis next to the bottom power supply, providing a protective earthing terminal for the
router. The grounding lug required is a Panduit LCD6-14A-L or equivalent.
• A number 3 Pozidriv or Phillips screwdriver (not provided) to tighten the two screws that are
mounted on the chassis.
The provided terminal lugs for the JNP10K-PWR-DC2 are Panduit LCD4-14A-L, or equivalent, and sized
2
for 4 AWG (21.1 mm
) power source cables. We recommend that you install heat-shrink tubing
insulation around the crimped section of the power cables and lugs.
An AC-powered MX10004 gets additional grounding when you plug the power supply in the router into
a grounded AC power outlet using an AC power cord appropriate for your geographical location. See
"MX10004 Power Cable Specifications" on page
To connect the MX10004 router to earth ground:
1. Verify that a licensed electrician has attached the cable lug (provided in the accessory kit) to the
grounding cable.
2. Connect the other end of the grounding cable to a proper earth ground, such as the rack in which the
router is mounted.
3. Wrap and fasten one end of the ESD grounding strap around your bare wrist, and connect the other
end of the strap to one of the ESD points on the chassis. See
