Tice Service Bulletin #5 April 1991
Subject: Connecting ground in Power Block & Micro Block.
"Static electricity buildup in digital processors and players can cause damage to their circuit components. Excess static electricity can be drained off by insuring that your digital processor or player is properly grounded. The following change should be made to all Power Blocks and Micro Blocks to ensure effective grounding for digital equipment."
"1. Remove cover and locate the green wire coming from the power cord as it enters the unit. The cut end of the green wire will be secured with a tie wrap. Cut and remove the tie wrap to free the green wire.
2. Strip back a small amount of insulation from this wire. Attach the green wire to the UNUSED green screw at the corner of the outlet. DO NOT CONNECT THE GREEN WIRE TO THE GOLD OR SILVER SCREWS.
3. Reinstall the cover BEFORE applying power to the Block."
That was all verbatim from the service bulletin....so One set of the three pair of outlets will be grounded. Use those two for Digital equipment.
