Setting Up the System 2-5
Connecting the Power Cord
Plug the female end of each AC power cord shipped with your system into the
input receptacle on the rear of each power supply shipped with your system.
Plug the male end of the power cord into NEMA 5-15R outlet for 100-120 VAC
or NEMA 6-15R outlet for 200-240 VAC.
If a power cord supplied with the system is not compatible with the AC wall
outlet in your region, obtain a suitable power cord that meets the following
criteria.
! The power cord must be rated for the available AC voltage and have a
current rating that is at least 125% of the current rating of the system.
! The power cord connector that plugs into the wall outlet must be
terminated in a grounding-type male plug designed for use in your region.
It must have certification marks showing certification by an agency
acceptable in your region.
! The power cord connector that plugs into the system must be an
IEC- type CEE-22 female connector.
! The power cord must be less than 1.8 meters (6.0 feet) long.
When connecting the power cord to a power control unit such as an UPS unit,
confirm that the power control unit is powered OFF. Connecting the power cord
while power is supplied to the power control unit may cause a failure.
!
WARNING
A power cord is provided for each power supply shipped with
your system. Do not attempt to modify or use the supplied
AC power cord if it is not the exact type required.
