Cable Access Hole
Also provided in the ceiling of the battery box is a hole (1.625”
diameter, see Figure 8) for battery cable access between the
main Boxer cabinet and the battery box. The provided battery
cable is typically routed through this hole and a similar hole in
the Boxer‐5 cabinet mounted above it.
2.2.5
Ground Post
Near the front center of the battery box top wall (ceiling) is a
threaded ground post (see Figure 8) which is used to bond the
battery box with the Boxer‐5 cabinet mounted above it. When
the Boxer‐5 cabinet's exterior ground lug is removed, the lug's
vacated mounting hole is available to accept the battery box 's
top protruding ground post when the two cabinets are joined
(see Figure 7). The cabinet's ESD bracket and the copper
ground lug are then re‐installed on the inside floor of the Box
er‐5 cabinet at this post after the two cabinets are conjoined.
