q Provide a power source within six feet (1.8 m) of the installation location. This source must provide 100 VAC to 240 VAC, and 50 Hz to 60 Hz power. Power specifications for the switch are shown in Appendix A, “Technical Specifications”.

q If multiple products are installed in the same rack system, the power source must be capable of handling the entire load. The overall system AC current load must not exceed 80 percent of the branch circuit AC current rating.

q If power strips are used to connect multiple products, the load should not exceed 80 percent of the power strip's marked electrical current rating.

q Maintain reliable grounding of rack-mounted equipment. Give special attention to power supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit, such as power strips and other power connector adapters.

q Primary voltage selection within the above ranges is automatic and requires no user action.
