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.
