wall receptacle direct connection.
Further,
if you are located outside of
the USA
, we would encourage seeking
grounding adapters for your wall outlets.
These can typically be purchased for a
few dollars, but you must do research for
your region. Here is an example of a UK
ground adapter, sold by PC Valet.
GamersNexus, LLC has no affiliation
with PC Valet nor this product. You
must buy these separately, and must
research the safety and usage
instructions of such products
independently.
In a use case such as this, you would
attach the ring terminal to one of the
ground standoffs above, then use the
washer to secure it in place. Other
countries have similar products. Again,
these are not needed; you could use a
screw to mount the ring terminal to a
location on your case, then install a
power supply (PSU) and connect that to
the wall, with the PSU power switch
toggled off.
If you are having trouble figuring out
how to ground your device, there are
many ways to do it (in all regions).

GENERAL SAFETY
WARNINGS
Read all safety warnings and all
instructions prior to use.
Failure to do so
may result in electric shock, fire, and/or
serious injury.
-
Plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way.
-
The common ground point and ring
terminal provided are based upon
USA outlets with central grounding
screws. Not all US outlets have
grounding pins, nor all US plugs,
and most countries have their own
plug design.
You are
responsible for understanding
how your wall receptacles, outlets,
and plugs are wired. Do not
connect anything that you do not
understand to a wall outlet. Do
not ever connect the ring terminal
to a hot wire or hot plug; only
connect to grounded devices that
have a known path to earth.
Ensure that the ring terminal has
clearance from hot plugs, and
does not make a connection to or
bridge them
. We have provided
some alternatives to wall outlet
grounding in this manual; if you feel
uncomfortable grounding to an
outlet, use one of our alternatives
above (e.g. taping the ring terminal
to a connected power supply or to a
computer case that is grounded).
-
Do not expose electrical outlets to
wet conditions or rain, nor the
attached grounding cable (and ring
terminal).
