Cable Requirements; Precautions - Bosch PRAESENSA Installation Manual

22 en | General installation procedures and instructions
The PRAESENSA 19"-devices are equipped with (removable) mounting brackets for mounting
in a 19"‑rack. Use four caged nuts, nylon cup washers and pan head bolts for mounting.
Common sizes for bolts and nuts for rack mounting are M6, M8, 10‑32 or 12‑24.
Caution!
The rack must be grounded to a safety ground. All PRAESENSA 19"-devices have a chassis
ground screw on the rear panel, which can be used for a wire connection to the rack frame.
!
Use a thick, multi‑strand wire (>2.5 mm
connection. This connection is mandatory for the PRA-AD604 and PRA-AD608 as a reference
for ground‑short detection and because of high internal voltages, but may improve immunity
to electrostatic discharges (ESD) for all devices.
