WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS

WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS

Secure Racking

If secure racked units are installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, they may require further evaluation by certification agencies. Consider the following items:

1.The ambient temperature within the rack may be greater than the room ambient temperature. Installation should be such that the amount of airflow required for safe operation is not compromised. The maximum temperature for the equipment in this environment is 122°F (50°C).

2.Install the unit so that it doesn’t become unstable from uneven loading.

Input Supply

Check nameplate ratings to ensure that there is no overloading of supply circuits that could have an effect on overcurrent protection and supply wiring.

Grounding

Maintain reliable grounding of this equipment. Give particular attention to supply connections when connecting to power strips, rather than direct connections to the branch circuit.

Shock Hazard

Do not attempt to repair or service this device yourself. Internal components must be serviced by authorized personnel only.

Disconnect Power

If any of the following events occurs, immediately disconnect the unit from the outlet and contact Black Box at 724-746-5500.

1.The power cord is frayed or damaged.

2.Liquid has been spilled into the device or the device has been exposed to rain or water.

Disconnect Power Supply Cable

Before attempting to service or remove this unit, make certain to disconnect the power supply cable(s).

Two Power Supply Cables

Note that some Outlet Managed PDU models feature two separate power circuits, and a separate power supply cable for each power circuit. If your Outlet Managed PDU includes two power supply cables, make certain to disconnect both power supply cables from their power source before attempting to service or remove the unit.
