CAUTION:
For the NEBS compliant installation of a NetIron XMR 4000, 8000, 16000, and 32000 with AC and
DC system use a ground wire of at least 6 American Wire Gauge (AWG). The ground wire should have an agency-
approved crimped connector (provided with the chassis) attached to one end, with the other end attached to build-
ing ground. The connector must be crimped with the proper tool, allowing it to be connected to both ground screws
on the enclosure. Before crimping the ground wire into the provided ground lug, insure the bare copper wire has
been cleaned and antioxidant is applied to the bare wire.
