Secure the Chassis to the Rack (STEP 7) 

Use 2 Panhead screws, on each side, to secure the chassis to the rack as shown below. 
 

 

Earth Leakage Current 

To reduce the risk of electric shock due to high leakage currents, ensure that there is a reliable grounded 
(earthed) connection before connecting power distribution products to AC power.  

 

Grounding the EB3600-P Expansion Chassis 

This equipment must be grounded properly for proper operation in accordance with local electrical safety 
standard. 

 

 

 

CAUTION  

The system chassis must be securely grounded to the rack cabinet frame.  Do not attempt to 

connect power to the system until grounding cables are connected.  Completed power and 
safety ground wiring must be inspected by a qualified electrical inspector.  An energy hazard 
will exist if the safety ground cable is omitted or disconnected. 

 

 

CAUTION  

Never defeat the ground conductor or operate the equipment in the absence of a suitably 

installed ground conductor.  Contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority or an 
electrician if you are uncertain that suitable grounding is available. 

 

 

 

CAUTION  

This unit has more than one power cord.  To reduce the risk of electrical shock, disconnect all 
power cords before servicing.
