Figure 3-3 Grounding Point
This unit is to be installed in a restrictive access location and must be permanently grounded to minimum
6-AWG copper ground wire.
Complete the following steps to ground the Cisco ASR 901 router using a 2-hole lug and the
corresponding mounting point. Most carriers require a 6-AWG ground connection. Verify your carrier’s
requirements for the ground connection.
Step 1 In the accessory kit, locate the 2-hole lug, 2 pan-head Phillips head screws used to attach the lug to the
router, and 6-AWG ground wire. (Lug, screws, and wire are part number 32-0629-01.)
Step 2 Set the parts aside.
Step 3 If your ground wire is insulated, use a wire-stripping tool to strip the ground wire to 0.5 inch ± 0.02 inch
(12.7 mm ±0.5 mm) for the ring terminal (Figure 3-4).
