About grounding the platform
You must ground the platform after you install it in a rack. The chassis ground lug is located on the back
of the platform.
Do not secure multiple bonding or grounding connectors with the same bolt. The grounding connectors do
not need to be removed to perform service or installation procedures. You can connect other bonding or
grounding conductors to a grounding connector provided a reliable bond between the connector and the
equipment is not disturbed during installation, service, or maintenance of the platform.
Important: All grounding cable terminal lugs must meet appropriate safety standards.
Note: The platform must be grounded to a common bonding network (CBN).
