Power Distribution Block Grounding

Since we need to ground those 6 CIMs and our breaker panel I was wondering if we could use the other 7 ports on the power distribution block to ground with.
I wasn't able to post on the Q&A because I didn't have our teams account password. Feel free to post this on the Q&A if you can. Thanks for any help.

Karma,

There should be no problem in using all 7 positions on the block. Also, you should find that the block accepts 6AWG wire. Connecting 2 (or 3) 10 or 12 AWG wires into one "port" should not be a problem.
