Ground lug

Dell EMC recommends you ground your Edge 3000 Series platform; however, grounding is optional and the ground lug assembly kit is not

included with the platform. The ground lug must be a UL-recognized, crimp-type lug. To order a UL-certified ground lug with bracket,

contact your Dell EMC sales representative.

NOTE:

The ground cable and lug are not included with the platform.

NOTE: For AC-powered platform although the third conductor of the AC power cable provides a ground path, Dell EMC

recommends grounding your platform with a dedicated ground wire.

To attach a ground lug assembly to the platform, use the included two M3 ground lug bracket screws. The platform ships with the M3

ground lug bracket screws attached.

CAUTION:

Grounding conductors

must

be made of copper. Do not use aluminum conductors.
