Step 2
Remove any paint and other nonconductive coatings from the surfaces between the shelf ground and bay
frame ground point. Clean the mating surfaces and apply appropriate antioxidant compound to the bare
conductors.
Attach one end of the shelf ground cable (#8 AWG cable) to the ground point (rear or lateral) on the
Step 3
chassis using the specified dual-hole lug connector. (See diagrams 1 and 2 in
Tighten the lug using the M4 pan-head screw to torque value of 11.5 in-lbs (1.3 N-m).
Step 4
Ground points are present on the rear and lateral sides of the CPT 50 shelf (see diagram 1 in
Note
You can connect the grounding cable to either the rear or the lateral side. Diagrams 2 and 3 in
show the ground connection to the rear side of the CPT 50 shelf.
Attach the other end of the shelf ground cable to the bay frame using a dual-hole lug connector according
Step 5
to the equipment bay frame specifications. (See diagram 3 in
