WARNING!
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE FOR INSTALLATION
For installations using wide-voltage-range-rated switchless power distribution units (PDU part numbers E7670A,
E7671A, E7674A, and E7676A) for connection to an uninterruptable power supply (UPS) or other AC source
• CHECK THE VOLTAGE before connecting any equipment to the PDU! Failure to check the voltage could
lead to severe equipment damage!
The voltage of the PDU receptacles equals the voltage of the receptacle to which the PDU is connected.
This voltage must be within the input voltage range of the equipment and the PDU installed in the rack.
• CHECK THE POWER SOURCE RECEPTACLE to be sure it is installed near the rack and is easily
accessible, so that the plug on the PDU power supply cord can serve as the disconnect device for the rack.
• CHECK THE TOTAL INPUT CURRENT ratings of the equipment installed in the rack to avoid overloading
the PDU or any uninterruptable power supply (UPS) to which it may be connected.
The output current rating of the PDU equals the output current rating of the power source to which the
PDU is connected, but not more than the maximum current rating (amperage) marked on the PDU.
• CHECK THE GROUNDING when installing rack-mounted products with this PDU, there is a risk of high
leakage current. Reliable ground circuit continuity is vital for safe operation of this product. To reduce
the risk of electric shock, earth (ground) connection is essential before connecting the PDU. Never
operate this PDU with the ground conductor disconnected.
WARNING!
To prevent instability leading to possible injury when moving the 2 meter racks (e.g.: A4902A, A4902D)
• Follow all stability instructions in the user guide.
• Push against the rack at the 1.6M (63 inch) height or lower.
• Exercise extra caution when moving rack sideways (racks are more stable from front to back and when full).
