An electrical conducting path shall exist between the product chassis and the metal surface of the
enclosure or rack in which it is mounted or to a grounding conductor. Electrical continuity shall be
provided by using thread-forming type mounting screws that remove any paint or non-conductive
coatings and establish a metal-to-metal contact. Any paint or other non-conductive coatings shall be
removed on the surfaces between the mounting hardware and the enclosure or rack. The surfaces shall
be cleaned and an antioxidant applied before installation.
