Grounding the BlackDiamond 12800 Series Chassis

Although grounding the BlackDiamond 12800 series chassis is optional, it is recommended. A
grounding point with integrated pem-nuts is provided on the back of the chassis.

You need the following materials to ground the chassis:

Two 10-24 screws, 1 inch or shorter

One copper, standard barrel 2-hole compression grounding lug, type LDC, equivalent to Panduit
part number LCD4-14A-L or Thomas & Betts part number: LCN4-14

Appropriate grounding wire for your system, based on the available input current for the power
supply:

For AC systems using a 20A breaker per PSU (SSI AC), the chassis ground can be as small as
14 AWG.

For DC systems using a 40A breaker per PSU (SSI DC), the chassis ground can be as small as
10 AWG.
