2. Screw, 10-32, ½", qty 2
3. Washer, #10, external locking, qty 2
Perform the following steps to connect to the grounding terminal.
1. Ensure that the rack in which the SLX 9640 device is mounted is properly grounded and in
compliance with local regulations.
2. Ensure that there is a good electrical connection to the grounding point on the rack (no paint or
isolating surface treatment).
3. Crimp the included grounding lug to a grounding wire of at least 12 American Wire Gauge (AWG).
The 12 AWG wire and grounding lug should be crimped together using a proper tool.
4. Attach the 12 AWG stranded copper wire to the grounding terminal on the SLX 9640 device using
the screws included in the grounding kit.
5. Attach the grounding wire to a grounding point.
