You can mount the cFP-BP- x backplane on a 35 mm DIN rail, on a panel, or in a standard 19 in.
rack. Before using any of these mounting methods, record the serial number from the back of
the backplane.
Each set of mounting instructions in this document includes an instruction to connect the
protective earth (PE) ground terminal on the cFP-BP- x backplane to the system safety ground.
The backplane PE ground terminal has the following symbol stamped beside it:
backplane PE ground terminal to the system safety ground using 14 AWG (1.6 mm) wire with a
ring lug. Use the 5/16 in. panhead screw shipped with the backplane to secure the ring lug to
the backplane PE ground terminal.
