Mount the Compact FieldPoint Backplane
1
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:
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.
