Physical Location of the System Modules
General Before you begin positioning the components of
Requirements
your computer system, consider the following
requirements:
o The central module and the video displays
receive their power from standard 115VAC (U.S.)
or 230VAC (international) three-conductor,
grounded power outlets.
The central module and any peripheral devices
attached to the central module must share power
outlets that are part of a commonly fused and
grounded electric circuit.
o The length of the central module and video
display power cables is fixed, so placement of
these components is determined by power cable
length and power outlet location. You may be
able to install three-conductor, grounded
extension cords if they are rated for at least
10 amps (115VAC) or 5 amps (230VAC).
o A standard workstation cable is 25 feet long;
100-foot extensions are also available. Three
100-foot extensions may be used in conjunction
with a standard 25-foot cable to create a
maximum central module-to-workstation cable
length of 325 feet.
When you are determining workstation cable
lengths, take into account that cable placement
should not stress cable connectors.
