Grounding Cable in Facility DC Power Environments
The grounding cable satisfies an enclosure-to-enclosure grounding requirement in
facility DC power environments. Each type of bus bar supports a different number of
enclosures; therefore, each facility DC cable option kit contains a grounding cable to
support the appropriate number of enclosures.
WARNING: If using facility DC power, cables must be installed by a licensed
electrician or trained service personnel familiar with high-power circuitry.
To connect the grounding cable:
1. Insert the mounting screw through the grounding cable lead and into the
enclosure (1).
2. Tighten the mounting screw to secure the grounding cable to the enclosure (2).

management cabling removed for clarity)
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 as needed for the configuration until all enclosures in the
rack are connected by the grounding cable.
4. Connect the lower end of the grounding cable to the facility grounding
connection.
