Grounding terminal of the router
Use a PGND wire to connect the screw to the earth ground, and the grounding resistance should not be
greater than 5-ohm. Likewise, if the router is installed in a 19-inch standard rack, this rack is required to
be grounded too.
WARNING!
When the router is in normal operation, it is required to be well grounded. Otherwise, the router cannot
reliably avoid lightning, which may damage the router itself and even the peer device.
