4.1. Important Safety Instructions
•
Check the voltage rating : Connect the PDU only to a properly rated power circuit.
•
Check circuit load : Ensure that connection to the power circuit will not cause overloading of the
circuit or supply wiring. Do not use this PDU in conjunction with a power strip or other PDU in an
attempt to branch the power circuit. The power rating for equipment connected to the outlet
power of the PDU should not exceed individual outlet load rating.
•
Check rack ambient temperature : If installing in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the
operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than ambient
temperature in the room. Ensure that the rack ambient temperature does not exceed the
maximum rated temperature of the equipment.
•
Check air flow : Ensure that there is adequate air flow in front and behind the PDU when installing
in the rack.
•
Check mechanical load : Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous
condition is not created due to uneven mechanical loading.
•
Ensure reliable grounding : Do not connect to any ungrounded outlet or extension cords/adapters
that remove grounding.
