Attaching a Chassis Ground Connection Chapter 3 Installing a Cisco 7200 VXR Router Use the following procedure to attach the grounding lug to the chassis grounding receptacles on your router chassis: Figure 3-14 Attaching a Grounding Lug to the Chassis Grounding Receptacles 2 1 3 4 84530 1 Screws 2 Chassis grounding receptacles 3 Grounding lug 4 Wire Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 Step 6 Step 7 Locate the chassis grounding receptacles on your router chassis. (See Figure 1-4 in Chapter 1, "Cisco 7206VXR Overview.") Insert the two screws through the holes in the grounding lug. (See Figure 3-14.) Ensure that the grounding lug does not interfere with other router hardware, such as power supplies or the network processing engine or network services engine. Use the Phillips screwdriver to carefully tighten the screws until the grounding lug is held firmly to the chassis. Do not overtighten the screws. Use the wire stripper to strip one end of the 6-AWG wire approximately 0.75 inches (19.05 mm). Insert the 6-AWG wire into the wire receptacle on the grounding lug (See Figure 3-14.) Use the crimping tool to carefully crimp the wire receptacle around the wire; this step is required to ensure a proper mechanical connection. Connect the opposite end of the grounding wire to the appropriate grounding point at your site to ensure an adequate chassis ground. This completes the procedure for providing a chassis ground connection. 3-18 Cisco 7200 VXR Installation and Configuration Guide OL-5013-09
