125% of the electrical current rating of this product.

 

The power cord plug cap that plugs into the AC receptacle on the power supply 
must be an IEC 320, sheet C13, type female connector.

 

Plug the power cord(s) into a socket that is properly grounded before turning on 
the power.

DISPOSING OF BATTERY BACKUP UNITS - IF APPLICABLE

If the BBU is damaged in any way, toxic chemicals may be released. The material in 

the battery pack contains heavy metals that can contaminate the environment. 
Federal, state, and local regulations prohibit the disposal of rechargeable atteries in 
public landfills. Be sure to recycle the old battery packs properly. Comply with all 
applicable battery disposal and hazardous material handling laws and regulations in 
the country or other jurisdiction where you are using the BBU.

Risk of explosion if the battery is installed upside down or is replaced by an 

incorrect type. Replace it only with the same or equivalent type recommended by 
the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.

Disconnect the power supply at the circuit breaker before accessing any components. 

Turning off the system power supply switch does not reduce the risk of electrical 
shock from the power supply terminal block.

 

To prevent the unit from overheating, never install the appliance in an enclosed area 
that is not properly ventilated or cooled. For proper airflow, keep the front and back 
sides of the appliance clear of obstructions and away from the exhaust of other 
equipment.

 

Be aware of the locations of the power switches on the chassis and in the room, so 
you can disconnect the power supply if an accident occurs.

 

Take extra precautionary measures when working with high voltage components. Do 
not work alone.

 

Before removing or installing main system components, be sure to disconnect the 
power first. Turn off the system before you disconnect the power supply.

 

Use only one hand when working with powered-on electrical equipment to avoid 
possible electrical shock.

 

Use rubber mats specifically designed as electrical insulators when working with 
computer systems.

 

The power supply or power cord must include a grounding plug and must be 
plugged into grounded outlets.

Electric Static Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. To prevent 

damage to your system board, it is important to handle it very carefully. The following 
measures can prevent ESD damage to critical components.

 

Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.

 

Keep all components and printed circuit boards (PCBs) in their antistatic bags until 

ready for use.

  

ouch a grounded metal object before removing the board from the antistatic bag.

 

Do not let components or PCBs come into contact with your clothing, which may 

retain a charge even if you are wearing a wrist strap.

 

Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral chips, 

memory modules or contacts.

  

When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.

  

Put the motherboard and peripherals back into their antistatic bags when not in use.

 

For grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides excellent 

conductivity between the power supply, case, mounting fasteners and motherboard.

ELEVATED OPERATING AMBIENT 

TEMPERATURE

 - If installed in a 

closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the 
operating ambient temperature of the 
rack environment may be greater than 
room ambient temperature. Therefore, 
consideration should be given to installing 
the equipment in an environment 
compatible with the maximum ambient 
temperature (Tma) specified by the 
manufacturer. Always keep the rack’s 
front door and all panels and components 
on the appliances closed when not 
servicing to maintain proper cooling.

REDUCED AIR FLOW

 - Installation of 

the equipment in a rack should be such 

Verify that the ship kit includes a power 
cord, the screws and the rack clips (shown 
below) that you will need to install the 
appliance in your rack. Use the hardware 
supplied with your specific rack if different 
from the hardware supplied in this kit.

that the amount of air flow required for 
safe operation of the equipment is not 
compromised. Leave enough clearance, 
approximately 25 inches in the front, and 
30 inches in the back of the rack to enable 
you to access appliance components and 
allow for sufficient air flow.

CIRCUIT OVERLOADING

 - 

Consideration should be given to the 
connection of the equipment to the 
supply circuit and the effect that 
overloading of the circuits might have on 
overcurrent protection and supply wiring. 
Appropriate consideration of equipment 
nameplate ratings should be used when 
addressing this concern.

MECHANICAL LOADING

 - Mounting 

of the equipment in the rack should be 
such that a hazardous condition is not 
achieved due to uneven mechanical 
loading. ALL RACKS MUST BE 
MOUNTED SECURELY. Ensure that all 
leveling jacks or stabilizers are properly 
attached to the rack. If installing multiple 
appliances in a rack, make sure the 
overall loading for each branch circuit 
does not exceed the rated capacity. Do 
not slide more than one appliance out 
from the rack at a time. Extending more 
than one appliance at a time may result in 
the rack becoming unstable. Install your 
appliance in the lower part of the rack 
because of its weight and also for ease in 

accessing appliance components.

RELIABLE EARTHING

 - Reliable 

earthing of rack-mounted equipment 
should be maintained. Particular attention 
should be given to supply connections 
other than direct connections to the 
branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips). 
Install near appropriate AC outlets, and 
Ethernet hubs or individual jacks. Be sure 
to install an AC Power Disconnect for the 
entire rack assembly. The Power 
Disconnect must be clearly marked. 
Ground the rack assembly properly to 
avoid electrical shock.
