Figure 3-4 shows the power connector on the CVS-1450 device. Table 3-2
lists and describes each terminal on the power connector.

Earth Ground Connection

Some system setups may require using the grounding lug on the CVS-1450
device to connect the chassis to earth ground. Connecting the grounding
lug, shown in Figure 3-5, to earth ground connects the common-mode
signal of the main power to earth ground through the CVS-1450 device
chassis.

Note

An earth ground connection does not connect Ciso to earth ground.
