Replace a Grounding Strap

You can damage or strip a grounding strap if you remove a door or panel without first detaching the strap from the door or panel. Remove the damaged grounding strap from the rack prior to installing a replacement strap.

  1. Locate the grounding strap to be replaced, and disconnect the grounding strap from the panel or door if still attached.

    See Detach a Grounding Strap for the locations of these grounding straps and how to detach a grounding strap.

  2. Using a T-25 Torx wrench key, remove the M6 screw and washer securing the grounding strap connector to the rack.

    Save the screw and washer, and ensure that the spring nut remains at the same location in the rack.
