1. A supplementary equipment earthing conductor is to be installed
between the product or system and earth, that is, in addition to the
equipment earthing conductor in the power supply cord.
2. The supplementary equipment earthing conductor may not be smaller
in size (8 AWG minimum, recommend 6 AWG) than the unearthed
branch-circuit supply conductors. The supplementary equipment
earthing conductor is to be connected to the product at the terminal
provided, and connected to earth in a manner that will retain the earth
connection when the power supply cord is unplugged. The connection
to earth of the supplementary earthing conductor shall be in
compliance with the appropriate rules for terminating bonding jumpers
in Park K of Article 250 the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70,

above, ensuring that it has an external marked earth point.
3. The host machine ISA bus pins B1, B10 or B13 MUST be tested to
ensure that there is less than 0.1 Ohms to the earthing terminal.
4. The host machine PCI bus pins complies with PCI Board
specifications Rev. 2.1 (5V 32-bit).
5. Prepare the chassis, in accordance with the PC manufacturers
instructions, to receive the necessary PC cards, ensuring the
