Grounding Points Specifications
To meet safety and electromagnetic interference (EMI) requirements and to ensure
proper operation, the router must be adequately grounded before power is connected.
To ground AC-powered and DC-powered routers, you must connect a grounding cable
to earth ground and then attach it to the chassis grounding points using the two screws
provided (see Figure 24 on page 43).
Two threaded holes are provided on the upper rear of the chassis for connecting the
router to earth ground. The grounding points fit SAE 10-32 screws (American). The
grounding points are spaced at 0.625-in. (15.86-mm) centers.
NOTE: Additional grounding is provided to an AC-powered router when you
plug its power supplies into grounded AC power receptacles.
