SECTION 3 - INSTALLATION pickering HARDWARE INSTALLATION ELECTRICAL CONNECTION (CHASSIS) 1. The chassis must be electrically installed in accordance with local regional electrical codes by a qualified engineer. 2. The chassis must be grounded. Electrostatic discharge can damage the components on the module. To avoid such damage in handling the board refer to page VII. - Page 19 For a system comprising more than one chassis, turn ON the last chassis in the system followed by the penultimate, etc, and finally turn ON the PC or chassis containing the system controller. 10. For Pickering Interfaces modular LXI installation there is no requirement to use any particular power up sequence.
