•
Power supply is adequate for power requirements.
•
Connect the C-Series System to the appropriate branch circuit protection as defined by local
electrical codes.
WARNING:
The C7008/C300 does not have a main disconnect device installed. It is the responsibility of the
installer to provide a suitable disconnecting device in the building installation and ensure that it is located/
installed near the equipment and is easily accessible.
•
It is positioned in a rack with adequate space in the front, rear, and sides of the unit for proper
ventilation, access to cables, and maintenance access.

side airflow chassis.
•
Allow
