COMPAQ CONFIDENTIAL - NEED TO KNOW REQUIRED
Grounding
For proper operation and safety, this equipment is required to be properly
grounded in accordance with NFPA 70-1993, Article 250. All power
distribution devices, branch wiring, and receptacles must be "Listed"
grounding-type devices.
Due to the higher ground leakage currents associated with the equipment,
Compaq recommends the use of a Power Distribution Unit (PDU) that provides
a supplementary ground conductor. This supplementary ground conductor
should be permanently connected to a suitable building ground terminal. The
use of common power outlet strips for this equipment is not recommended.
For proper operation and safety, this equipment is required to be properly
grounded. In the United States, install the equipment in accordance with NFPA
70-1993 (National Electric Code) Article 250, as well as any local and regional
building codes. In Canada, the equipment should be installed in accordance
with Canadian Standards Association, CSA C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code.
In all other countries the installation should follow any regional or national
electrical wiring codes such as the International Electrotechnical Commission
(IEC) 364 parts 1 through 7. All power distribution devices used in the
installation including branch wiring, receptacles, etc. should be Listed or
Certified ground-type devices.
WARNING
: To reduce the risk of electrical shock due to high
leakage currents, a reliably grounded connection (earthed) is
essential before connecting the unit to an AC supply.
When using power strips for electrical distribution, make sure that ground
integrity is maintained for each connection made. Plug each component into a
reliably grounded outlet.
