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.
How to Attach 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).
Note When installing the unit, the chassis ground connection must always be made first and disconnected last.
SUMMARY STEPS
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.
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).
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).
DETAILED STEPS

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.
