Option Card Installation
For the GS20A-BPS or GS20A-CM-ENETIP option card, install it by following the steps below for either a GS20 series drive, or the steps on page
xx for a GS20X series drive.
NOTE: Ensure all control board and power cables are terminated before installing the option card. Once the option card is installed, there is no
access to the control or power terminals.
1) Switch off the power supply.
2) Open the front cover of the drive.
3) Remove the plug terminal cover from the drive control board. A small screwdriver can be used to pry the cover from the plug.

drive as indicated by the red circles below. The B side of the ground terminal connects to the green removeable terminal block labeled PE on the option card. Connect
the wire then plug the terminal block back into the option card. Note, for B frames, snip the “A” ring of the ground terminal wire to fit the connector around the ground
screw.
