IMPORTANT
Before making connections to the HMS-318 List 3 shelf, ensure that the Main CO power breaker

The ground wire exiting the HMS-318 List 3 Shelf is terminated with a ground lug. The lug can be
either a one-hole or two-hole lug. The surface of the lug that connects to the HMS-318 List 3 Shelf should
be cleaned with an antioxidant. The same should also be applied to the surface of the telco-style rack where
the connection is to be made. The #12 Hexhead screw (supplied) is used to connect the grounding lug to
the HMS-318 List 3 Shelf.
