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.
