Grounding the Memory Array
This procedure describes the connection of the equipment ground from the equipment rack to the
Memory Array chassis.
Note: Maintain reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment. Supply extra connections, other
than the direct connections to the branch circuit, such as using power strips.
To connect an equipment ground wire to the Memory Array:
1. Cut an appropriate length of wire for the equipment ground wire for your location and strip 1/2”
of insulation from both ends of the wire. Use appropriately sized wire for your equipment
application. Minimum acceptable wire gauge is 8 AWG.
2. Using a size 10-32x1/2” (maximum length) screw (not included), secure the equipment ground
wire to the equipment ground connection on the rear of the chassis.
Note: A UL listed ground lug must be used. Check your local code requirements or contact a
licensed electrician.
3. Secure the other end of the equipment ground wire to the equipment rack using an
appropriately sized screw for the equipment rack. If the equipment rack has a designated
ground location, secure the ground wire to this location.
