Conduit Power-cabling
Conduit cabling using cable glands is recommended to lay a power cable for the cabinet and
instrumentation boards. It prevents the power cable from contacting metallic plates and putting its
weight on power connection terminal.
The console type HIS, or cabinet, has a conduit hole in the bottom plate directly below the
terminal box, and the hole can be exposed by removing the blank plate screwed to the bottom.

Conduit cabling is also recommended for the 19-inch rack-mount equipment, laying a power
cable through a conduit hole where the cable enters the metallic cabinet.
