The 5140L8R2 adapter module is an 8-slot pyramid integrator manufactured by Allen-Bradley. To mount the system components, one has to gather the mounting instructions, the pyramid integrator components, tools, and supplies, rack mount the components and/or panel mount the components. One then proceeds to remove the brackets from the back of the chassis and install them on the front of the chassis for rack mounting, mark the positions of each component that will be mounted. Make sure the holes line up with the holes of the mounting bracket, make a copper ground bus on the rack. The 5140L8R2 8-slot chassis have a grounding stud located on the top left front of each chassis. Use the grounding stud to ground the chassis.

One should prepare and connect grounding conductors to the components, prepare and connect grounding conductors to the ground bus, connect the equipment-grounding conductor and grounding electrode conductor. Do not use an indirect earth ground such as water pipes, building structures, or power distribution systems, otherwise, the components may experience grounding problems. Before installing the 5140L8R2 adapter module, one should take note of the eight switches located on the left side of the chassis backplane. Using the worksheet, set the chassis switch assembly as indicated with a ball-point pen. Do not use a pencil because the tip can break off and jam or short the switch. Set the configuration jumper to indicate which type of power supply the chassis will use. If a module is inserted into the wrong slot, it could be damaged by improper voltages connected to it through the wiring arm. Use key bands to help prevent any damage to the 5140L8R2 pyramid module.
