Chapter 4 Installation and Maintenance

Installing the SCE 2000 Platform

Note Since the brackets support the weight of the entire SCE 2000 chassis, be sure to use all four screws to fasten the two rack-mount brackets to the rack posts.

Attaching a Chassis Ground Connection

Before you connect the power or turn on the power to the SCE 2000 platform, it is required that you provide an adequate chassis ground (protective earth) connection for the SCE 2000 chassis. A grounding kit is provided with each SCE 2000.

Use the grounding kit to properly ground the SCE 2000 chassis (see SCE 2000 Component List for details).

Warning When installing the unit, the chassis ground connection must always be made first and disconnected last.

To connect the grounding cable to the chassis grounding connector on the SCE 2000, complete the following steps:

Step 1 From the enclosed grounding kit, remove the necessary materials — the grounding cable (green and yellow colored cable) and pairs of hex nuts and spring washers.

Step 2 On the rear panel of the SCE 2000, locate the chassis grounding connector (refer to the appropriate figure for an AC- or DC-powered SCE 2000 below).

Step 3 Attach the grounding cable (green and yellow colored cable), firmly fastening the (enclosed) hex nuts and spring washers with a #¼” hex wrench (refer to the appropriate figure for an AC- or DC- powered SCE 2000 below).

The other side of the grounding cable must be connected to the site equivalent of the AC earth.
