3. Use the crimping tool to carefully crimp the wire receptacle around the wire; this step is required to ensure
a proper mechanical connection.
4. Attach the grounding lug with the wire so that the grounding wire does not overlap the power supply (see
Figure 13: Attaching a Grounding Lug to the Chassis Ground Connector, on page
5. Locate the chassis ground connector on the side of your chassis.
6. Insert the two screws through the holes in the grounding lug.
7. Use the Number 2 Phillips screwdriver to carefully tighten the screws until the grounding lug is held firmly
