6.2Bottom Cover Installation

The cable-entry section of the bottom cover must be replaced following installation of the grounding wire, feeder cable(s), and distribution cable(s). Use the following procedure to replace the cable-entry section of the bottom cover:

1.Locate the bottom cover (cable-entry section) that was removed from the cabinet in step 2 of Section 5.1.

2.Determine which grommets will be used for sealing the cable entry/exit points and remove those grommets from their mounting slots in the bottom cover.

3.Using a utility knife, cut through the slit that runs lengthwise down the center of each grommet as shown in Figure 24.

4.Remove enough cable cutout sections from each grommet to accommodate the size and number of cables that will pass through the grommet.
