3.2 AC Line Voltage

You can connect the SCSI Switch to any AC input voltage between 105 and

240 volts. Unless otherwise specified, the switch will be shipped with a 110-volt power cord for use in the USA. For a power cord that will work in your country (outside the USA), call Black Box Technical Support.

3.3 Switch Placement

Place the SCSI Switch in a convenient location near the host computer or peripherals. If you’ll be placing it on a flat surface, put the feet on the bottom of the switch. If you’ll be rackmounting it, use the procedure in Section 5.10. Keep SCSI cable lengths short to provide the best performance and reliability. Make sure that the dual fans and ventilation slots on the sides of the switch receive adequate airflow. Do not place the switch on or near any devices that generate excessive heat.

3.4 Power Equipment Off

Power off all equipment and peripherals connected to the SCSI interface before installing cables or terminators.
