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
between chassis and panel.

Where TE and PE terminals are provided, ground each separately to the nearest
