2.3.4 Connecting the IRD Ground Wire
A grounding wire (Cable #32-0583-50) has been provided to
connect your IRD to a suitable ground and protect the system.
Attach the grounding wire to any suitable screw on the rear
panel of the IRD with a good contact with the IRD chassis. The
other end should be connected to a suitable ground, ideally the
ground connector on the switchplate (see Figure 2-21).
2.3.5 Installing the Switchplate
After completing the switchplate wiring process, you must install
the switchplate itself. This process, detailed in the following
steps, is illustrated in Figure 2-22.
1. Fit the switchplate assembly and support frame
into the panel cutout made in Step 2 in
and flush to the mounting surface.
2. Drill out four
