Cisco Systems 1800 User Manual

Strip one end of the ground wire to expose approximately 3/4 inch (20 mm) of conductor.

Crimp the 14 AWG green ground wire to a UL Listed/CSA certified ring terminal, using a crimping tool that is 
recommended by the ring terminal manufacturer. The ring terminal provided on the back panel of the router is suitable 
for a No. 6 grounding screw.

Attach the ring terminal to the chassis as shown in Figure 1. Use a number 2 Phillips screwdriver and the screw supplied 
with the ring terminal. Tighten the screw to a torque of 8 to 10 inch-pounds (0.9 to 1.1 newton meters.)

Connect the other end of the ground wire to a known good electrical grounding point such as a service panel grounding lug. 
Consult a licensed electrician if you have any questions about the suitability of the ground connection.

Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity. Statement 1001

This section provides an overview of the cabling for different ports and connections on the Cisco 1841 router.

For detailed information on the connections, cables, and pinouts, refer to the following documents:

Cisco Interface Cards Installation Guide at the following URL:

Cisco Modular Access Router Cable Specifications at the following URL:

The connections and cables listed in Table 1 are described in detail in the Cisco 1800 series hardware installation documents at

Do not connect a WAN, telephone, or fax cable to an interface card until you have completed the installation 
procedure.

Hazardous network voltages are present in WAN ports regardless of whether power to the router is OFF or ON. To 
avoid electric shock, use caution when working near WAN ports. When detaching cables, detach the end away 
from the router first. Statement 1026
