Standard Installations
There are many criteria in determining the appropriate enclosure. Some of these

• Available space

Grounding to the Component Mounting Panel
In the example below, the drive chassis ground plane is extended to the mounting
panel. The panel is made of zinc-plated steel that helps to create a proper bond
