Equipment Grounding Implementation Details
Connect all HP equipment cabinets to the site ground grid as follows:
Step 1. Attach one end of each ground strap to the applicable cabinet ground lug.
Step 2. Attach the other end to the nearest pedestal base (raised floor) or cable trough ground point
(nonraised floor).
Step 3. Check that the braid contact on each end of the ground strap consists of a terminal and connection
hardware (a 1/4-in. [6.0-mm] bolt, nuts, and washers).
Step 4. Check that the braid contact connection points are free of paint or other insulating material and
treated with a contact enhancement compound (similar to Burndy Penetrox).
