Figure 1-1 Raised Floor Metal Strip Ground System
Equipment Grounding Implementation Details
Connect all HP equipment cabinets to the site ground grid as follows:
1. Check that the braid contact connection points are free of paint or other insulating material
and treated with a contact enhancement compound (similar to Burndy Penetrox).
2. Check that the braid contact on each end of the ground strap consists of a terminal and
connection hardware (a 1/4-inch (6.0-mm) bolt, nuts, and washers).
3. Attach one end of each ground strap to the applicable cabinet ground lug.
4. Attach the other end to the nearest pedestal base (raised floor) or cable trough ground point
(nonraised floor).
5. After achieving a safe and effective 50–60Hz grounding system and a safe and effective SRG,
then consider cabinet-to-floor grounding. HP does not require this step.
