If the PDU is installed in a cabinet the ambient temperature of the
rack should be no greater than 45 degrees C.
•
Install the PDU such that airflow required for safe operation of
equipment is not compromised.
•
Mount the PDU so that uneven mechanical loading does not cause a
hazardous condition.
•
Follow nameplate ratings when connecting equipment to the branch
circuit. Take into consideration the effect that overloading of the
circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring.
•
The PDU relies on the building installation for protection from
overcurrent. A Listed or Certified overcurrent protection device is
required in the building installation. The Overcurrent protection
device should be sized according to the PDU's nameplate ratings and
the local electrical code.
•
Maintain reliable earthing of rack-mount equipment. Particular
attention should be given to supply connections other than direct
connections to the branch circuit.
•
PDU is intended for Restricted Access Location. Only service
personnel should install and access the PDU.
•
For pluggable equipment, install the PDU so the input plug may be
disconnected for service.
•
Caution: Disconnect all power cords before servicing.
