Connecting the Chassis Ground and Power

Before you connect the power or turn on power to the router, you must provide an adequate chassis ground
(earth) connection to your router.

Grounding the Router

The router provides a grounding point on either side of the unit for a two-hole lug.
Caution Before making connections to the router, ensure that you disconnect the power at the circuit breaker. Otherwise
it may result in severe injury to yourself, or damage to the router.
