Power requirements
The installation of this equipment must be in accordance with local/regional electrical
regulations governing the installation of information technology equipment by
licensed electricians. This equipment is designed to operate in installations covered
by NFPA 70, 1999 Edition (National Electrical Code) and NFPA 75, 1992 Edition
(code for Protection of Electronic Computer/Data Processing Equipment). For
electrical power ratings on options, refer to the product rating label or the user
documentation supplied with that option.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, fire, or damage to the
equipment, do not overload the AC supply branch circuit that provides power
to the rack. Consult the electrical authority having jurisdiction over the wiring
and installation requirements of your facility.
CAUTION: Protect the server from power fluctuations and temporary interruptions
with a regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS). This device protects the
hardware from damage caused by power surges and voltage spikes and keeps the
system in operation during a power failure.
When installing more than one server, you might need to use additional power
distribution devices to safely provide power to all devices. Observe the following
guidelines:
• The power load must be balanced between available AC supply branch circuits.
• The overall system AC current load must not exceed 80% of the branch circuit
AC current rating.
• Do not use common outlet strips for this equipment.
• Provide a separate electrical circuit for the server.
