Chapter 11 – Installing the system ground
Chassis powered by the same service panel
This chapter describes how to ground the Option 11C Mini chassis. This
chapter contains the following procedures:
•
Procedure 7: "Grounding the Option 11C Mini chassis" on page 141
•
Procedure 8: "UK grounding procedure for the Option 11C Mini
chassis" on page 144
This chapter also describes how to ground multiple pieces of equipment in a
rack/cabinet when one or more pieces of equipment does not have a
grounding lug. See "Grounding multiple pieces of equipment in a
rack/cabinet" on page 144.
Refer to the "Grounding requirements" on page 47 for additional
information.
Correct grounding is very important. Failure to complete the
grounding procedures may result in a system that is unsafe for the
personnel using the equipment. If your system is not grounded
correctly, it may not be protected from lighting or power surges, and it
may be subject to service interruptions.
You must use insulated ground wire for system grounding.
For each Main Chassis, connect a #6 AWG (#40 Metric Wire Gauge) ground
wire from the Main Chassis to an NTBK80 grounding block. Connect the
grounding block to a ground source (the ground bus in the AC service panel).
