Connect the Chassis Ground Wire
The server shipping kit contains a grounding lug for connecting a chassis grounding wire to the rear of the server. You must supply the grounding wire.
 | Caution - The DC power source must be reliably grounded. The server chassis must be grounded with the power supply ground pins or with the chassis ground studs. It is acceptable to have both grounds connected. |
This procedure is optional for servers with AC input power. It is acceptable to ground the server through the supplies and chassis ground wire.
- Retrieve the grounding lug and two M5 nuts from the shipping kit.
- Insert the grounding wire into the receptacle of the grounding lug, and use a crimping tool to crimp the receptacle around the wire.
- Go to the back of the server and locate the two grounding studs.
-
Position and align the grounding lug on the two grounding studs at the
rear of the chassis.
