Grounding the Router

To ground the router:

1. Verify that a licensed electrician has attached the cable lug provided with the router to the grounding cable.
2. Connect the grounding cable to a proper earth ground.
3. Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap to your bare wrist and connect the strap to one of the ESD points on the chassis. For more information about ESD, see Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage.
4. Using a number 2 Phillips screwdriver, remove the screws next to the grounding symbol above the power supplies on the chassis rear. Secure the grounding cable lug to the chosen grounding point by reinstalling and tightening the screws.
5. Verify that the grounding cabling is connected correctly, that it does not touch or block access to router components, and that it does not drape where people could trip on it.
