Making Ground Connections

Use the procedure in this section for both the main shelf and the Expansion panel. After installing the TimeProvider shelf and/or the Expansion panel into the rack, make the grounding connections as follows.

Recommendation: Although there are a number of methods for connecting the equipment to earth ground, Symmetricom recommends running a cable of the shortest possible length from the ground lug to earth ground.

Front Access Shelf

To connect Chassis Ground on the front access chassis, connect a cable from the frame ground lug on the left side of the front panel to the proper grounding zone or master ground bar.

Rear Access Shelf

To connect Chassis Ground on the rear access shelf, insert a grounding terminal block to one of the ground posts located on the lower left side at the rear of the shelf to the proper grounding zone or master ground bar.
