Ground lug and bracket installation
Install the ground (GND) lug and bracket assembly, with a ground wire attached, before you install the system in a rack.
Dell supplies a kit with the following:
• One 2-hole UL-certied GND lug
• L-bracket
• Two at head screws to attach lug to bracket
• Two pan head screws to attach assembly to chassis
You supply the following:
• A wire that complies with your local electrical codes in size and color. Typically the wire is 14 AWG, colored green or green with a yellow
stripe.
• An anti-oxidant compound—Dell recommends NOALOX 4 or equivalent
• A crimping tool
• A thread-locker compound—Dell recommends Threadlocker Blue 242 or equivalent

c To secure the connection of wire to lug, crimp the lug end.
