4. The external battery cabinet chassis ground (or earth) must be
connected to the UPS chassis ground (or earth).
You must make a good connection to the external battery cabinet
chassis ground (or earth). If the external battery cabinet has a
terminal strip, you can make the ground connection at the terminal
strip ground (or earth) lug inside the cabinet. If not, you can make
the ground connection at one of the screws on the external battery
cabinet; to ensure a good connection, remove the paint under the
cabinet screw.
At the UPS, the procedure for connecting ground depends on your
model.
