5. Installation

5.1 General Safety Instructions

• Read all of these instructions. Save them for future reference.
• Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the device.
• Do not place the device on any unstable surface (cart, stand, table, etc.). If
the device falls, serious damage will result.
• Do not use the device near water.
• Do not place the device near, or over, radiators or heat registers.
• The device cabinet is provided with slots and openings to allow for
adequate ventilation. To ensure reliable operation, and to protect against
overheating, these openings must never be blocked or covered.
• The device should never be placed on a soft surface (bed, sofa, rug, etc.) as
this will block its ventilation openings. Likewise, the device should not be
placed in a built in enclosure unless adequate ventilation has been provided.
• Never spill liquid of any kind on the device.
• Unplug the device from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid or
aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
• The device should be operated from the type of power source indicated on
the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power available, consult
your dealer or local power company.
• This device is designed for IT power distribution systems with up to 230V
phase to phase voltage.
• The device is equipped with a 3-wire grounding type plug. This is a safety
feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your
electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat the
purpose of the grounding-type plug. Always follow your local/national
wiring codes.
• Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord or cables. Route the power
cord and cables so that they cannot be stepped on or tripped over.
• If an extension cord is used with this device make sure that the total of
the ampere ratings of all products used on this cord does not exceed the
extension cord ampere rating. Make sure that the total of all products
plugged into the wall outlet does not exceed 15 amperes.
• Consideration should be given to the connection of equipment to the
supply circuit, and what effect overloading the supply circuit might have on
overcurrent protection and supply wiring.
• To help protect your system from sudden, transient increases and decreases
in electrical power, use a Tripp Lite Surge Suppressor, Line Conditioner, or
Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS).
• Position system cables and power cables carefully; be sure that nothing
rests on any cables.
• When connecting or disconnecting power to hot pluggable power supplies,
observe the following guidelines:
• Install the power supply before connecting the power cable to the power
supply.
• Unplug the power cable before removing the power supply.
• If the system has multiple sources of power, disconnect power from the
system by unplugging all power cables from the power supplies.
• Never push objects of any kind into or through cabinet slots. They may
touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts resulting in a risk of fire or
electrical shock.
• Do not attempt to service the device yourself. Refer all servicing to
qualified service personnel.

• If the following conditions occur, unplug the device from the wall outlet and
bring it to qualified service personnel for repair:
• The power cord or plug has become damaged or frayed.
• Liquid has been spilled into the device.
• The device has been exposed to rain or water.
• The device has been dropped, or the cabinet has been damaged.
• The device exhibits a distinct change in performance, indicating a need
for service.
• The device does not operate normally when the operating instructions
are followed.
• Only adjust those controls that are covered in the operating instructions.
Improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage that will
require extensive work by a qualified technician to repair.
• Use of this equipment in life support applications where failure of this
equipment can reasonably be expected to cause the failure of the life
support equipment or to significantly affect its safety or effectiveness is not
recommended. Do not use this equipment in the presence of a flammable
anesthetic mixture with air, oxygen or nitrous oxide.
Rack Mounting Safety Instructions
• The ambient operating temperature in the rack may be an issue and is
dependent upon the rack load and ventilation. When installing in a closed
or multi-unit rack assembly, make sure that the temperature will not exceed
the maximum rated ambient temperature.
• Before working on the rack, make sure that the stabilizers are secured to the
rack, extended to the floor, and that the full weight of the rack rests on the
floor. Install front and side stabilizers on a single rack or front stabilizers for
joined multiple racks before working on the rack.
• Always load the rack from the bottom up, and load the heaviest item in the
rack first.
• Always load the rack so that a hazardous condition is not created due to
uneven loading.
• Make sure that the rack is level and stable before extending a device from
the rack.
• Use caution when pressing the device rail release latches and sliding a
device into or out of a rack; the slide rails can pinch your fingers.
• After a device is inserted into the rack, carefully extend the rail into a
locking position, and then slide the device into the rack.
• Do not overload the AC supply branch circuit that provides power to the
rack. The total rack load should not exceed 80 percent of the branch circuit
rating.
• Ensure that proper airflow is provided to devices in the rack.
• Do not step on or stand on any device when servicing other devices in a
rack.
• Do not connect the RJ11 connector marked "Upgrade" to a public
telecommunication network.
• Caution! Slide/Rail (LCD KVM) mounted equipment is not to be used as a
shelf or a work space.
CAUTION!
Slide/rail-mounted
equipment is not to be
used as a shelf
or a workspace.
