Chapter 11 – Installing the system ground
For each system chassis in collocated multi-chassis configurations, connect a
#6 AWG (#40 Metric Wire Gauge) ground wire from the chassis to an
NTBK80 grounding block. The grounding block is in turn connected to a
ground source (the ground bus in the AC service panel). See Table 17 for
region-specific grounding requirements.
For each system chassis in collocated multi-chassis configurations, connect a
#6 AWG (#40 Metric Wire Gauge) ground wire from the chassis to an
NTBK80 grounding block. If any chassis cannot be powered from the same
service panel, ground it separately from the other chassis back to the service
panel that supplies it. See Table 17 for region-specific grounding
requirements.
