Statement 1025

Use copper conductors only.

Grounding the chassis is required, even if the rack is already grounded. A grounding pad with two threaded

holes is provided on the chassis for attaching either a grounding lug or grounding plate. The ground lug must

be NRTL-listed. In addition, a copper conductor (wires) must be used and the copper conductor must comply

with NEC code for ampacity.

When terminating the frame ground, do not use soldering lug connectors, screwless (push-in) connectors,

quick connect connectors, or other friction-fit connectors.
