Chapter 2 Installation and Setup
Electrical Considerations
When installing the Altos S700 Series the following electrical
considerations must be applied.
Circuit Overloading
Care should be taken to ensure that the current does not exceed the
rating of the power source circuitry. This includes cabling, power
distribution units, filters and any other devices through which the main
current flows. The electrical power rating of the enclosure is 100 - 240
VAC, 10 - 5 Amps (50/60 Hz), and this must be added to the power
demands of any other electrical devices installed in the equipment rack
to arrive at a total power consumption figure. In addition, surge
currents must be catered for. Disk drives may consume twice the
amount of current at start-up time as they do during steady state
operation.
