Safety Guidelines
To avoid potentially fatal shock hazard and possible damage to Raritan equipment: 
• Do not use a 2-wire power cord in any product configuration. 
• Test AC outlets at your computer and monitor for proper polarity and grounding.
• Use only with grounded outlets at both the computer and monitor. When using a backup UPS,
power the computer, monitor and appliance off the supply.
Rack Mount Safety Guidelines
In Raritan products which require Rack Mounting, please follow these precautions: 
• Operation temperature in a closed rack environment may be greater than room temperature. 
Do not exceed the rated maximum ambient temperature of the appliances (see Appendix A: 
Specifications). 
• Ensure sufficient airflow through the rack environment. 
• Mount equipment in the rack carefully to avoid uneven mechanical loading. 
• Connect equipment to the supply circuit carefully to avoid overloading circuits. 
• Ground all equipment properly, especially supply connections, such as power strips (other 
than direct connections), to the branch circuit.
