Task 1: Turn Off All E-series Router Power

Before starting, you must switch all E-series router power switches to OFF.

Task 2: Connect the Grounding Cables

All E-series routers have two grounding studs located in the rear of the chassis, near
the power inputs. Each stud provides grounding for a single power unit.
To ground each power unit:
1.
2.
NOTE: We recommend a minimum of 10-AWG ground wire with a ring style
terminal.
3.
4.
5.
NOTE: When grounding an E-series router, leave a service loop in the grounding
cable to ensure that the grounding cable is the last cable to disconnect from the
shelf if strain is placed on the electrical cables.

Task 3: Connect the Power Cables

To connect power cables to an E-series router, follow these steps. Refer to
Figure 29, Figure 30, and Figure 31 as needed.

CAUTION: Before you begin this procedure, ensure that all power switches are
in the OFF position.
To turn off the router, push each power switch to the OFF position.
Locate the grounding studs on the E-series router (see Figure 29 and Figure 30).
Remove the nuts and locking washers from the grounding studs.
Place the grounding cable lead on one of the grounding studs and tighten
the nuts to secure the connection.
Connect the other end of the ground cable to the appropriate ground
termination lead.
Repeat Steps 3–4 for the remaining grounding stud.
