disconnected.
Recommended Tools and Supplies
The following tools, equipment, and supplies necessary to connect the system ground to the chassis:
• Phillips screwdriver
• Dual-lug chassis ground component
• Grounding wire
Use the following procedure to attach the grounding lug to the chassis ground connector on your chassis:
SUMMARY STEPS
1. Use the wire stripper to strip one end of the AWG #6 wire approximately 0.75 inches (19.05 mm).
2. Insert the AWG #6 wire into the wire receptacle on the grounding lug.
3. Use the crimping tool to carefully crimp the wire receptacle around the wire; this step is required to ensure
a proper mechanical connection.
4. Attach the grounding lug with the wire so that the grounding wire does not overlap the power supply (see
Figure 13: Attaching a Grounding Lug to the Chassis Ground Connector, on page
5. Locate the chassis ground connector on the side of your chassis.
6. Insert the two screws through the holes in the grounding lug.
7. Use the Number 2 Phillips screwdriver to carefully tighten the screws until the grounding lug is held firmly
to the chassis. Do not overtighten the screws.
8. Connect the opposite end of the grounding wire to the appropriate grounding point at your site to ensure
an adequate chassis ground.
