Grounding Requirements
For proper operation and safety, this equipment must be properly grounded in
accordance with NFPA 70-1993, Article 250. All power distribution devices,
branch wiring, and receptacles must be "Listed" grounding-type devices.
Due to the higher ground leakage currents associated with the equipment,
Compaq recommends the use of a Power Distribution Unit (PDU) that
provides a supplementary ground conductor. This supplementary ground
conductor should be permanently connected to a suitable building ground
terminal.
IMPORTANT: The use of common power outlet strips for this equipment is not
recommended.
For proper operation and safety, this equipment must be properly grounded. In
the United States, install the equipment in accordance with NFPA 70-1993
(National Electric Code) Article 250, as well as any local and regional
building codes. In Canada, the equipment should be installed in accordance
with Canadian Standards Association, CSA C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code.
In all other countries, the installation should follow any regional or national
electrical wiring codes such as the International Electrotechnical Commission
(IEC) 364 parts 1 through 7. All power distribution devices used in the
installation, including branch wiring and receptacles, should be Listed or
Certified ground-type devices.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock due to high leakage currents, a
reliable grounded connection (earthed) is essential before connecting the unit to
an AC supply.
When using power strips for electrical distribution, make sure that ground
integrity is maintained for each connection made. Plug each component into a
reliably grounded outlet.
