Chassis Grounding (Optional)

If you needed additional chassis grounding, connect a

1⁄4-inch female spade connector to the ground tab at the rear of the tape drive. Or, connect an M3-0.5 6 mm self-tapping screw to the grounding hole. The ground tab and grounding hole are shown in Figure 7 on page 16.

Note: The power supply returns are connected to the chassis, so you cannot isolate logic common ground from chassis ground.
