To ensure that the chassis ground connection that you provide is adequate, you need the following parts
and tools:
• Ratcheting torque screwdriver with Phillips head that exerts up to 15 in.-lb (1.69 N-m) of torque for
attaching the ground wire to the router
• Crimping tool as specified by the ground lug manufacturer
• 6-AWG or larger copper wire for the ground wire
• Wire-stripping tools appropriate to the wire you are using
Caution Before making connections to the Cisco ASR 920-24SZ-IM, ASR-920-24SZ-M,
ASR-920-24TZ-M Router, ensure that you disconnect the power at the circuit breaker.
Otherwise, severe injury to you or damage to the router may occur.

Statement 1046
This unit is to be installed in a restrictive access location and must be permanently grounded to a
minimum 6-AWG copper ground wire.
Perform the following procedure to ground the Cisco ASR 920-24SZ-IM, ASR-920-24SZ-M,
ASR-920-24TZ-M Router using a 2-hole lug and the corresponding mounting point. Most carriers
require a minimum 6-AWG ground connection. Verify your carrier’s requirements for the ground
connection.
Step 1 If your ground wire is insulated, use a wire-stripping tool to strip the ground wire to 0.5 inch ± 0.02 inch
(12.7 mm ±0.5 mm) (Figure 3-35).
