Cisco 3725 Router Ground Connection
To install the ground connection for a Cisco 3725 router, perform the following steps:
Step 1 Strip one end of the ground wire to the length required for the ground lug or terminal.
• For the NEBS ground lug—approximately 0.75 inch (20 mm)
• For user-provided ring terminal—as required
Step 2 Crimp the ground wire to the ground lug or ring terminal, using a crimp tool of the appropriate size.
Step 3 Attach the ground lug or ring terminal to the chassis as shown in Figure 3-12 or Figure 3-13. For a
ground lug, use the two screws with captive locking washers provided. For a ring terminal, use one of
the screws provided. Use a number 2 Phillips screwdriver, and tighten the screws to a torque of 8 to
10 in-lb (0.9 to 1.1 N-m).
Step 4 Connect the other end of the ground wire to a grounding point at your site.
