• Allow the appliance to cool before removing covers or touching internal
components.
• Operate the appliance only from the type of external power source that is indicated
on the electrical ratings label. If you are not sure of the type of power source that is
required, consult the service provider or local power company.
• Be sure that the monitor and attached devices are electrically rated to operate with
the power that is available in the current location.
• Use only power cables that are provided with the appliance.
• To help prevent electric shock, connect the appliance and peripheral power cables
into properly grounded electrical outlets. These cables are equipped with three-
prong connectors to help ensure proper grounding. Do not use adapter connectors
or remove the grounding prong from a cable.
• Observe extension cable and power strip ratings. Make sure that the total ampere
rating of all products that are connected to the power strip does not exceed 80
percent of the ampere ratings limit for the power strip.
• To help protect the appliance from sudden, transient increases and decreases in
electrical power, use a surge suppressor, line conditioner, or uninterruptible power
supply.
• Carefully position appliance cables and power cables. Route cables so that they
cannot be stepped on or tripped over. Be sure that nothing rests on any cables.
• Do not modify power cables or connectors. Consult a licensed electrician or the
power company for site modifications. Always follow the local and national wiring
rules.
2.3 Rack mounting the appliance
Before installing the appliance and other components in the rack (if not already installed),
stabilize the rack in a permanent location. Install the equipment starting at the bottom of
the rack, then work to the top. Avoid uneven loading or overloading of racks.
2.3.1 General guidelines
• Refer to the rack installation documentation the accompanied the rack for
specific caution statements and procedures.
• Elevated ambient temperature: In a closed rack assembly, the operation
temperature of the rack environment can be greater than room ambient. Use care
not to exceed the rated maximum ambient temperature of the unit.
• Reduced air flow: Carefully install the equipment in a rack so that an adequate
amount of airflow is maintained for safe operation of the equipment.
• Mechanical loading: Avoid a potentially hazardous condition caused by uneven
mechanical loading by carefully mounting the equipment in the rack.
• Circuit overloading: Consider the connection of the equipment to the supply
circuit and the effect that overloading of circuits might have on overcurrent
protection and supply wiring. Observe equipment nameplate ratings for maximum
current.
