Attaching a Chassis Ground Connection
Attaching a Chassis Ground Connection
Before you connect power or turn on power to your chassis, you must provide an adequate chassis ground
(earth) connection for the chassis in compliance with Telcordia grounding requirements. A chassis
ground connector is provided on each Cisco ASR 1001-X Router. There is a stud on the side of the
chassis and on the DC power supply (primary grounding stud).
Warning
This equipment must be grounded. Never defeat the ground conductor or operate the equipment in the
absence of a suitably installed ground conductor. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection
authority or an electrician if you are uncertain that suitable grounding is available.
Statement 1024
Caution The grounding wire should always be the first to be installed or connected and the last to be removed or
disconnected.
Have the recommended tools and supplies available before you begin this procedure.
Recommended Tools and Supplies
The following tools, equipment, and supplies are necessary to connect the system ground to the chassis:
• Phillips screwdriver
• 3.5-mm flat blade screwdriver (Phoenix # 1205053 or equivalent 3.5-mm flat blade)
