the Console Drawer. Make sure that the rated voltage meets the specifications of
this device (Refer to [Technical Specifications] and the model plate on this
device).
●The power cable for the Console Drawer is specially certified. Do not connect it
to anyplace other than a grounded wall outlet.
●Arrange the immediate area around the Console Drawer's power socket and the
rack's power outlet so that the plug can be quickly pulled.
●Lay all the cables so that they will not be damaged. Refer to the relevant
sections in [Installation] when connecting and removing cables.
●Do not connect or remove the data transmission cables during thunderstorms.
