Caution The PXIe-1095 chassis are designed with a three-position IEC 60320 C14 inlet for the U.S. that connects the ground line to the chassis ground. For proper grounding, a suitable cordset must be used to connect this inlet to an appropriate earth safety ground.

If your power outlet does not have an appropriate ground connection, you must connect the premise safety ground to the chassis grounding screw located on the rear panel. To connect the safety ground, complete the following steps:

  1. Connect a 2.1 mm2 (14 AWG) grounding wire to the chassis grounding screw (#8-32 SEMS) using an M4 grounding ring lug. The wire must have green insulation with a yellow stripe or must be noninsulated (bare).
  2. Attach the opposite end of the wire to permanent earth ground using toothed washers or a toothed lug tightened to 1.13 N · m (10 lb · in.) using an appropriate torque wrench or torque screwdriver.
