Power

	7300 Series product is to operate, the power source must be a grounded 100 to 240 V
	AC outlet, 60 to 50 Hz.

	input (-48 DC version) with a maximum input current at -40VDC. See Appendix A,
	Specifications, for specific electrical information.
Air and Cable
	Allow at least 20 inches (50.7 cm.) of clearance in front of a Vanguard 7300 chassis

	(50.7 cm) behind the unit for card removal, cable clearance, and air circulation.
