Note
Since the brackets support the weight of the entire
SCE 2000
chassis, be sure to use all four screws to
fasten the two rack-mount brackets to the rack posts.
Attaching a Chassis Ground Connection
Before you connect the power or turn on the power to the
SCE 2000
platform, it is required that
you provide an adequate chassis ground (protective earth) connection for the
SCE 2000
chassis. A
grounding kit is provided with each
SCE 2000
.
Use the grounding kit to properly ground the
SCE 2000
chassis (see
SCE 2000
Component List
for details).
Warning
When installing the unit, the chassis ground connection must always be made first and disconnected
last.
To connect the grounding cable to the chassis grounding connector on the
SCE 2000
, complete
the following steps:
Step 1
From the enclosed grounding kit, remove the necessary materials — the grounding cable (green
and yellow colored cable) and pairs of hex nuts and spring washers.
Step 2
On the rear panel of the
SCE 2000
, locate the chassis grounding connector (refer to the
appropriate figure for an AC- or DC-powered
SCE 2000
below).
Step 3
Attach the grounding cable (green and yellow colored cable), firmly fastening the (enclosed) hex
nuts and spring washers with a #¼” hex wrench (refer to the appropriate figure for an AC- or DC-
powered
SCE 2000
below).
The other side of the grounding cable must be connected to the site equivalent of the AC earth.
