Two UNC 1/4–20 nuts and washers
Grounding lug, 4-AWG for 80-A input or 6-AWG for 60-A input
Grounding cable, minimum 10 AWG wire (not provided)
You ground the router by connecting a grounding cable to earth ground and then attaching it to the chassis
grounding points by using two screws. To connect the grounding cable (see
1. Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap to your bare wrist, and connect the strap to
an approved site ESD grounding point. See the instructions for your site.
2. Ensure that all grounding surfaces are clean and brought to a bright finish before you make grounding

3. Connect the grounding cable to a proper earth ground.
4. Verify that a licensed electrician has attached the cable lug provided with the router to the grounding
cable.
5. Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap to your bare wrist, and connect the strap to
one of the ESD points on the chassis.
