Aluminum grounding bars

 

 

for I/O module wiring are

 

 

optional. They can be

 

 

mounted at top, at bottom,

 

 

or at top and bottom of the

 

 

rack, as indicated at right.

 

 

If grounding bars are

 

 

included, attach them with

 

 

two M3 screws (supplied

 

 

with grounding bars in

 

 

plastic bag).

 

 

Note: The plastic bag also

 

 

includes four M4 screws

 

 

for attaching the grounding

 

 

wire lugs, which are

 

 

attached later.

 

 

Attach the M4 screws

 

 

loosely to the grounding

 

 

bars for safe keeping.

 

3

Hang the rack in the

 

 

enclosure on the top

 

 

screws.

 

 

Start all screws in the

 

 

bottom of the rack, then

 

 

tighten all screws.

 

4

Carefully place the Power

 

Supply in the leftmost slot

 

in the Rack, ensuring that

 

the connector at the back

 

seats properly.

 

Insert a slot screwdriver in

 

the slots at the top and

 

bottom of the power supply

 

cover while pulling

 

backward to open the

 

cover.

 

Fasten the screws

 

(captured in the face of the

 

power supply) into the tabs

 

at top and bottom of the

 

rack.
