To ensure that the chassis ground connection that you provide is adequate, you need the following parts and
tools:

attaching the ground wire to the router
• Crimping tool as specified by the ground lug manufacturer
• 6 or 8 AWG copper wire for the power cord
• 6 AWG or larger copper wire for the ground wire
• Wire-stripping tools appropriate to the wire you are using
Before making connections to the Cisco NCS 4216, ensure that you disconnect the power at the circuit breaker.
Otherwise, severe injury to you or damage to the router may occur.
