Mount the I/O Chassis
and Ground Bus
If you have this I/O chassis Type of mount
1771-A2BSS panel mount (rear mount)
1771-A3B1SS panel mount (rear mount)
Each enclosure must contain a central ground bus. The ground bus
is the common connection for each chassis within the enclosure and
the enclosure itself. Use either bolts or welded studs to mount the
I/O chassis and central ground bus. If you are mounting a chassis to
the back panel of an enclosure, use 1/4-20 (M6 x 10) mounting bolts.

ATTENTION: If the mounting brackets of a chassis
do not lay flat before the nuts are tightened, use
!
additional washers as shims so that the chassis will not
be warped by tightening the nuts. Warping a chassis
could damage the backplane and cause poor
connections.
