Connecting Safety Ground
Caution
The power supply shuttle is designed with a three-position NEMA 5-15 jack that
connects the ground line to the chassis ground. To minimize shock hazard, make sure the
electrical power outlet you use to power the chassis has an appropriate earth safety ground.
If your power outlet does not have an appropriate ground connection, you
must connect the premise safety ground to the chassis ground screw. Refer
to Figure 1 to locate the chassis ground screw. Complete the following
steps to connect the safety ground.
1.
Connect a 16 AWG (1.3 mm) wire to the chassis ground screw using a
grounding lug. The wire must have green insulation with a yellow
stripe or must be noninsulated (bare).
2.
Attach the opposite end of the wire to permanent earth ground using
toothed washers or a toothed lug.
