Statement 1046—Installing or Replacing the Unit
When installing or replacing the unit, the ground connection must always be made first and disconnected
last.
Warning
Before You Begin
Before you can ground the chassis, you must have a connection to the earth ground for the data center building.
Step 1
Use a wire-stripping tool to remove approximately 0.75 inch (19 mm) of the covering from the end of the grounding
wire.
Step 2
Insert the stripped end of the grounding wire into the open end of the grounding lug, and use a crimping tool to crimp
the lug to the wire (see Callout 2 in the following figure). Verify that the ground wire is securely attached to the grounding
lug by attempting to pull the wire out of the crimped lug.
