Installing the Chassis Grounding Lug

This procedure explains how to connect a ground wire to the chassis. The
chassis, line cards, and power supplies require a permanent connection to
a good earth ground. The procedure requires the following items:

#2 Phillips-head screwdriver (not provided)

Crimping tool (not provided)

10 AWG stranded grounding wire (not provided)

#2 Phillips-head 20 inch-lbs torque screwdriver (optional — not

To connect the chassis to an earth ground, perform the following
procedure:

1. Prepare an adequate length of stranded grounding wire (10 AWG) for

the ground connection by stripping it as shown in Figure 46.
