Caution
Do not use the handles on the dial feature cards to assist in lifting the chassis.
To install the chassis into the equipment rack, follow this procedure:
Step 1
With the mounting brackets attached to the chassis, support the chassis and align the holes in the brackets
with the screw holes in the rack. (See Figure 3-4.)
Step 2
Attach the chassis to the rack with the screws you have provided. (See Figure 3-4.)

Connecting the Chassis Ground
You must connect the chassis to a reliable earth ground using the ground lug (provided) and size AWG 6
(13 mm2) wire.
To attach the chassis ground, take the following steps:
Step 1
Strip one end of the ground wire to expose approximately 0.75 in. (20 mm) of conductor.
Step 2
Crimp the ground wire to the ground lug, using a crimp tool of the appropriate size.
Step 3
Attach the ground lug to the chassis. (See Figure 3-5 or Figure 3-6.) Use a medium flat-blade
screwdriver and the screws supplied with the ground lug. Tighten the screws to a torque of 8 to 10 in-lb
(0.9 to 1.1 N-m).
Step 4
Connect the other end of the ground wire to a suitable grounding point at your site.

front panel forward.
