Connecting Safety Ground
The NI RMC-8354 is designed with a three-position NEMA 5-15 style plug for the U.S. 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.
Connecting to Power Source
Attach input power through the rear AC inlet using the appropriate AC power cable supplied.
Caution
Overloading the circuits may damage supply wiring. Do not exceed the
ratings on the equipment nameplate when connecting equipment to the supply circuit.
Caution
To completely remove power, you
must
disconnect the AC power cable.
The power switch allows you to power on the chassis or place it in standby mode. Push the power
switch to the On position (if not already on). Observe that all fans become operational and the
power indicator is lit.
