Installation and Configuration
Connecting Safety Ground
Caution
The NI PXIe-1062Q chassis are 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.
If your power outlet does not have an appropriate ground connection, you
must connect the premise safety ground to the chassis grounding screw
located on the rear panel. Refer to Figure 1-2,
, to locate the chassis grounding screw. To connect
the safety ground, complete the following steps:
1.
Connect a 16 AWG (1.3 mm) wire to the chassis grounding 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.
Connecting to Power Source
Cautions
Do
not
install modules prior to performing the following power-on test.
To completely remove power, you
must
disconnect the AC power cable.
Attach input power through the rear AC inlet using the appropriate
AC power cable supplied. Refer to Figure 1-2,
, to locate the AC inlet.
The Inhibit Mode switch allows you to power on the chassis or place it in
standby mode. Set the Inhibit Mode switch on the back of the chassis to the
Manual
position. Observe that all fans become operational and the power
switch LED is a steady green. Switching the Inhibit Mode switch to the
Default
position allows the system controller to control the power supply.
