Cabling ERX Routers
Task 2: Connect the Grounding Cables
All ERX routers have two grounding stu ds located in the rear of the chassis, near
the power inpu
ts. Each stud provides grounding for a single power unit.
To ground each
power unit:
1. Locate the gro
unding studs on the router (Figure 26 and Figure 27).
2. Remove the nuts and locking washers from the grounding studs.
NOTE: We recommend a minimum of 10-AWG g round wire with a ring style
terminal.
3. Place the grounding cable lead on one of the g rounding studs and tighten
the nuts to sec
ure the connection.
4. Connect the other end of the ground cable to the appropriate ground
termination l
ead.
5. Repeat Steps 3–4 for the remaining grounding stud.
NOTE: When grounding an ERX router, leave a service loop in the grounding cable
to ensure that the grounding cable is the last cable to disconnect from the shelf if
strain is plac
ed on the electrical cables.

ct the Power Cables

wer cables to the router, follow these step s. Refer to
