Surge and noise suppression components used on the D20MX are designed to prevent
nuisance operation and damage to internal components. To ensure correct protective
operation, the earth ground wire (14AWG green wire) on the D20 chassis must be
connected to a low impedance ground rail of a secondary cabinet or rack.
When making ground connections, ensure that all surfaces that are used for grounding
are free of dirt, residue and corrosion.
Do not power up the D20 before establishing a proper protective earth connection.
Carefully remove the D20MX from its packaging. Visually inspect the unit to ensure it has
not sustained any visible damage during transit. If there are visible signs of damage, report
it immediately to the carrier.
