Installing the Chassis Preparing to Install the Chassis Warning Statement 1252 Equipment Grounding This equipment must be grounded. To reduce the risk of electric shock, the power cord, plug, or combination must be connected to a properly grounded electrode, outlet, or terminal. Warning Statement 1076 Clearance Around the Ventilation Openings To prevent airflow restriction, allow clearance around the ventilation openings to be at least 30cm. - Page 5 Caution Avoid UPS types that use ferroresonant technology. These UPS types can become unstable with systems such as the Cisco Nexus switches. These switches can have substantial current draw fluctuations because of fluctuating data traffic patterns. Ensure that circuits are sized according to local and national codes. For North America, the power supply requires a 15-A or 20-A circuit.
