Step 2: Mounting the Rack
Screw the rack to the base.
Is the base material a grounded metal plate or a grounded equipment plate?
If so: Establish a low-impedance connection between rack and base material.
With painted and anodized metals, for example, use a suitable contact agent or
special contact washers.
If not: No special measures are required.
Mounting Screws
You have a choice of the following types of screw for securing a rack:
Screw Type Explanation
M6 cylinder-head screw to
ISO 1207/ISO 1580 (DIN 84/DIN 85)
Choose the screw length according to your
assembly.

Step 3: Connecting the Rack to the Chassis Ground
Connect the rack to the chassis ground. A threaded bolt is provided for this
purpose on the bottom left of the rack.
Minimum cross-section of the conductor to the chassis ground: 10 mm

.
If the S7-400 is mounted on a mobile rack, you must provide a flexible conductor to
the chassis ground.
Note
Always ensure that there is a low-impedance connection to the chassis ground
(see the figure below). You achieve this with the shortest possible, low-resistance
conductor with a large surface to establish large-area contact.
