Mounted to wall

NOTE: For hollow-wall mounting, each bracket requires two wall anchors with washers. Wall anchors and washers must be size

number 10.

Route the cables so that they do not put a strain on the connectors or mounting hardware. Cables should be routed down relative to the

router to prevent water from traveling on the cables.

Installing the Router Ground Connection

The router must be connected to a reliable earth ground. Install the ground wire in accordance with local electrical safety standards.



For NEC-compliant grounding, use size 14 AWG (2 mm2) or larger copper wire and a ring terminal with an inner diameter of 1/4 in.

(5 to 7 mm).



For EN/IEC 60950-compliant grounding, use size 18 AWG (1 mm2) or larger copper wire.

WARNING:

This equipment must be grounded. Never defeat the ground conductor or operate the equipment in the absence of a suitably

installed ground conductor. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority or an electrician if you are uncertain that suitable

grounding is available. Statement 1024

WARNING:

This equipment needs to be grounded. Use a green and yellow 12 to 14 AWG ground wire to connect the host to earth ground

during normal use. Statement 242

To install the ground connection, follow these steps:

Locate the grounding lug attached to the back of the Cisco IR829. It will be attached underneath two screws. Remove the screws

holding it to the router and set it aside for reuse.

Strip one end of the ground wire to the length required for the terminal.

Crimp the ground wire to the grounding lug using the wire crimper.

Attach the grounding lug to the chassis using the screws set aside in step 1. Tighten the screw to a torque of 8 to 10 inch-pound (0.9 to

1.1 newton meter). (See

Figure

5.)
