’
s requirements
for the ground connection.

Step 2
Slide the open end of your 2-hole ground lug over the exposed area of the ground wire.
Step 3
Using a crimping tool (as specified by the ground lug manufacturer), crimp the ground lug to the ground wire as shown
in the figure below.

Step 4
Use a Phillips head screwdriver to attach the 2-hole ground lug and wire assembly to the router with the 2 pan-head
Phillips head screws. For a 19-inch EIA rack, attach the 2-hole ground lug to the rear of the router.
