Attaching a Chassis Ground Connection
Caution
The grounding wire is always the first to be installed or connected and the last to be removed or
disconnected.
Use the following procedure to attach the grounding lug to the chassis ground connector on your chassis:
Step 1
Use the wire stripper to strip one end of the AWG #6 wire approximately 0.75 inches (19.05 mm).
Step 2
Insert the AWG #6 wire into the wire receptacle on the grounding lug.
Step 3
Use the crimping tool to carefully crimp the wire receptacle around the wire; this step is required to
ensure a proper mechanical connection as shown in the next figure.
Step 4
Attach the grounding lug with the wire so that the grounding wire does not overlap the power supply.
Figure 12-20
shows how to attach a grounding lug to the chassis ground connector.

Attaching a Grounding Lug to the Chassis Ground Connector
Step 5
Locate the chassis ground connector on the side of your chassis.
Step 6
Insert the two screws through the holes in the grounding lug.
Step 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.
Step 8
Connect the opposite end of the grounding wire to the appropriate grounding point at your site to ensure
an adequate chassis ground.
This completes the procedure for attaching a chassis ground connection.
