Power precautions
CAUTION
Use a separate branch circuit for each AC power cord for redundancy in case one of the circuits
fails.
DANGER
Make sure to choose the appropriate circuit device, depending on the number of AC power
supplies installed in the device.
DANGER
Disconnect the power cord from all power sources to completely remove power from the device.
DANGER
Make sure that the power source circuits are properly grounded, then use the power cord
supplied with the device to connect it to the power source.
DANGER
If the installation requires a different power cord than the one supplied with the device, make
sure you use a power cord displaying the mark of the safety agency that defines the regulations
for power cords in your country. The mark is your assurance that the power cord can be used
safely with the device.
DANGER
Make sure the rack or cabinet housing the device is adequately secured to prevent it from
becoming unstable or falling over.
DANGER
Mount the devices you install in a rack or cabinet as low as possible. Place the heaviest device at
the bottom and progressively place lighter devices above.
