General Safety Precautions

•Connect products that have dual power supplies to two separate power sources, for example, one commercial circuit and one uninterruptible power supply (UPS). The power sources must be independent of each other and must be controlled by a separate circuit breaker.

•For products that have AC power supplies, ensure that the voltage and frequency of the power source match the voltage and frequency on the label on the equipment.

•Products with AC power supplies have grounding-type three-wire power cords. Make sure the power cords are plugged into single-phase power systems that have a neutral ground.

•Do not use household extension power cords with Cyclades equipment because household extension cords are not designed for use with computer systems and do not have overload protection.

•Make sure to connect DC power supplies to a grounded return.

•Ensure that air flow is sufficient to prevent extreme operating temperatures. Provide a minimum space of 6 inches (15 cm) in front and back for adequate airflow.

•Keep power and interface cables clear of foot traffic. Route cables inside walls, under the floor, through the ceiling, or in protective channels or raceways.

•Route interface cables away from motors and other sources of magnetic or radio frequency interference.

•Stay within specified cable length limitations.

•Leave enough space in front and back of the equipment to allow access for servicing.
