Step 7
Ground the module.
The 1769-SM2 module is intended to be mounted to a well-grounded 
mounting surface such as a metal panel. Additional grounding connections 
from the module’s mounting tabs or DIN rail (if used) are not required 
unless the mounting surface cannot be grounded. For additional 
information, refer to Industrial Automation Wiring and Grounding 
Guidelines, publication No. 1770-4.1.
For details on shielded connector and unshielded connector grounding 
requirements, see the 1769-SM2 Compact I/O DSI/Modbus Network 
Communication User Manual, publication 1769-UM013.
