Statement 1046
Caution
We recommend grounding the chassis, even if the rack is already grounded.

If the rack is less than 25-in. (635 mm) deep, the slider rails will cover the grounding hole. Therefore,
the rack must either be grounded or at least 25-in. (635 mm) deep.
Caution
All power supplies must be grounded. The receptacles of the AC power cables used to provide power to
the chassis must be the grounding type, and the grounding conductors should connect to protective earth
ground at the service equipment.
Note
The grounding lug must be NRTL listed and compatible with copper conductors. Only copper conductors
(wires) must be used and the copper conductor must comply with National Electrical Code (NEC) for
ampacity.
