Figure 2-1. Grounding Lug
Step
Action
1
Looking at the HMS-318 List 3 rear panel, find the ground lug location (labeled BONDING WIRE MIN #10
AWG) on the upper right corner extension of the right panel (see
2
Measure between the telco-style rack and the HMS-318 List 3 Shelf the correct length of a #10 AWG
(minimum) ground wire so that it reaches the ground lug location on the HMS-318 List 3 Shelf, and cut.
Leave enough excess to allow for tying to the rack.
3
Using wire strippers, strip about 5/8 inches of insulation from the ground wire that you will fasten to the
ground lug.
4
Next, using a crimping tool, insert the stripped end of the ground wire into the ground lug, and crimp.
5
Attach the ground lug to the HMS-318 List 3 Shelf by placing the ground lug against the ground lug
location, aligning the hole. Insert the ground-lug screw (#12 Hexhead) through the locking washer and
then through the hole in the ground lug and the ground lug location on the HMS-318 List 3 Shelf. Ensure
that the ground lug and attached ground wire does not interfere with the HMS-318 List Shelf or the telco-
style rack.
6
Tighten the screws to secure the locking washer and the ground lug to the ground lug location on the
HMS-318 List 3 Shelf.
7
Using wire strippers, strip about 5/8 inches of insulation from the other end of the ground wire. Using
locally approved practices and fasten the stripped end of the ground wire to the telco-style rack.
8
Use the tie-wraps (supplied) and secure the ground wire to the rack to prevent rotation.
