Connect the Groundstraps

For information about the purpose and specifications of groundstraps, see

Groundstraps on page 1-23.

1. Find the groundstraps included with your system. The groundstraps are packaged

in a plastic bag along with two Phillips-head screws for each groundstrap.

2. Find the four groundstrap connector locations on the service side of a system

enclosure. See Figure 2-10. The groundstrap connector locations are the same for

all system enclosures.

3. Connect the groundstraps following the pattern suggested in Figure 2-11

page 2-14 and Figure 2-12

on page 2-15.

a. For each groundstrap, position one end of the groundstrap over the connector

hole and install the screw using a Phillips screwdriver.

b. Route the groundstrap:

•

To connect two base enclosures, route the groundstrap through the

openings in the cable channels. See Figure 2-11. Tuck the excess strap

length behind the cable channel.

•

To connect two enclosures in a double-high stack, connect the groundstrap

to the base enclosure. Tuck the excess strap length into the top of the base

enclosure frame. Route the groundstrap behind the cable support on the

stackable enclosure and up to the groundstrap connector.

Note. If your system has only one enclosure, go to Inventory the Enclosures on page 2-16.
