Grounding the Router

Before you connect the power input cable to an E4G-200 router, you must ground the router.

Warning

Connect the ground wire before you connect any power cables.

1. If necessary, move the grounding lug to the back panel of the router.

   A grounding lug is located on the front of the router. You can move the lug to the back panel if this location is more suitable for your installation site.

2. At one end of the ground wire, strip the insulation to expose 1/2 inch (12 mm) of bare wire.
3. Loosen the screw, and insert the stripped wire into the grounding lug.
4. Using a 1/4-inch straight-tip torque screwdriver, tighten the retaining screw to 20 pound-inches (2.25 Newton-meters).
