Chapter 2. Hardware Setup

Grounding

To prevent damage to your installation it is important that all devices are properly grounded.

1.Use a grounding wire to ground the CM1164 by connecting one end of the wire to the grounding terminal, and the other end of the wire to a suitable grounded object.

2.Make sure that the computer(s)/device(s) that the CM1164 connects to are properly grounded.

Note: The grounding wire is not included in the package. Please contact your dealer for the appropriate cable.
