What Does The Double Eyelet Independant Ground Wire Ground & Where Does It Attac

I had to replace the magnetron and decided to disaaemble and clean the unit while it was incapacitated.  I ended up waiting over 9 weeks for the diode and I have forgotten where the the double eyelet independant ground wire attaches - what it grounds.  I have a ground for diode/HV capacitor, the power cord, and the front panel.  Where does this go?
