Connecting the Safety Ground
Caution
The PXIe-1083 chassis are designed with a three-position IEC 60320 C14
inlet for the U.S. that connects the ground line to the chassis ground. For proper
grounding, a suitable cordset must be used to connect this inlet to 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. To connect the
safety ground, complete the following steps:
1.
Connect a 16 AWG (1.3 mm) wire to the chassis grounding screw (M4 SEMS) 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 a Power Source
Caution
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.
