2.4 Connect to Ground
Connecting the router to ground is to quickly release the lightning over-voltage and over-current of
the router, which is also a necessary measure to protect the body from electric shock.
In different environments, the Router may be grounded differently. The following will instruct you
to connect the Router to the Ground in two ways, connecting to the Grounding Bar or connecting
to the Ground via the power cord. Please connect the router to ground in the optimum way
according to your specific operation environment.
• Connecting to the Grounding Bar
If the Router is installed in the Equipment Room, where a professional Grounding Bar is available,
you are recommended to connect the Router to the Grounding Bar by the ground cable as shown
in the following figure.
