protection. The terminal is provided to:
1. Ensure all equipment chassis fixed in the rack are at the same
Technical earth potential. To achieve this, connect a wire between the
Technical earth terminal and a suitable point on the rack.
2. Eliminate the migration of stray charges when connecting between
equipment.
Warning:
If the terminal screw has to be replaced, use an M4x12mm
long pozidriv panhead. Using a longer screw may cause a safety hazard.
