NOTE:
Heat dissipation is calculated using the PSU wattage rating.
NOTE:
This system is also designed to connect to the IT power systems with a phase to phase voltage not exceeding 240 V.
NOTE:
If a system with 2400 W AC PSU operates at low line 100–120 V AC, then the power rating per PSU is derated to 1400 W.
NOTE:
If a system with 2000 W AC PSU operates at low line 100–120 V AC, then the power rating per PSU is derated to 1000 W.
