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. Use the manufacturers ’ s
recommended crimping tool to carefully crimp the wire receptacle around the wire; this step is required
to ensure a proper mechanical connection.

power supply.
4. Locate the chassis ground connector on the side of your chassis.
5. The following image shows how to attach the grounding lug to the chassis ground connector.
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.

an adequate chassis ground.
