Attaching a Chassis Ground Connection
Before you connect the power or turn on the power to your chassis, you must provide an adequate chassis
ground (earth) connection for the chassis. A chassis ground connector is provided on each Cisco
RFGW-10 chassis. There is a dual ring stud on the rear lower left side of the chassis and on each DC
power supply (primary grounding stud).
Caution
The grounding wire is always the first to be installed or connected and the last to be removed or
disconnected.
Use the following procedure to attach the grounding lug to the chassis ground connector on your chassis:
Step 1
Use the wire stripper to strip one end of the AWG #6 wire approximately 0.75 inches (19.05 mm).
Step 2
Insert the AWG #6 wire into the wire receptacle on the 90 degree grounding lug (see
).
Step 3
Use the crimping tool to carefully crimp the wire receptacle around the wire. This step is required to
ensure a proper mechanical connection.
Step 4
Attach the grounding lug with the wire so that the grounding wire does not overlap the power supply.
