DETAILED STEPS
Step 1
At the rear of the router, ensure that the power Standby switch is in the Standby position.
Step 2
Ensure that the positive and negative leads are disconnected from the site power source and the source circuit breaker
is turned off.
Step 3
Using a wire stripper, strip the recommended amount of wire insulation, which is 1.5 cm (0.6 inch) from the negative,
positive, and ground leads.
The stripping length is common to all types of wire
used.
Note
Figure 169: Stripping Wire for the +24 VDC Terminal Block, on page 360 shows the wire strip and lead.

Lead wire stripping area1
Remove the covering from exactly the specified length of each wire. If you strip too much of the covering,
exposed wire protruding from the terminal block will create an electrical hazard. If you strip too little of the
covering, the wire might not make a good contact with the terminal, or it might not be held securely in place
in the terminal.
Danger
Step 4
Using a 3.5mm screwdriver, insert the screwdriver at an angle to release the spring while you install the stripped lead
wire as shown in Figure 170: Inserting a Screwdriver Into the +24 VDC Power Supply Terminal Block, on page 360.

Step 5
Carefully push the screwdriver at a forward angle until you relieve the spring contact.
Step 6
With the screwdriver still inserted, gently push the lead wire (ground lead first) in until the copper wire, as shown in
Figure 171: Cisco ASR 1002-X Router +24 VDC Power Supply Lead Wire Inserted into Terminal Block, on page 360,
is no longer visible (see Figure 172: Cisco ASR 1002-X Router +24 VDC Power Supply Lead Wire Fully Inserted, on
page 361).
Ensure that no copper portion of the lead wire is exposed. Only the wire insulation should visible.Caution
Do not install wire into a terminal block that has not had its insulation removed.Caution
