Statement 4:
DANGER
Overloading abranch circuit is potentially afire hazard and ashock hazard
under certain conditions. To avoid these hazards, ensure that your system
electrical requirements do not exceed branch circuit protection
requirements. Refer to the information that is provided with your device or
the power rating label for electrical specifications. (D002)
DANGER
Hazardous voltage, current, or energy levels are present inside any
component that has this label attached.
(L001)
vi DPI C13 PDU+, DPI C19 PDU+, and DPI C19 3-phase PDU+: Installation and Maintenance Guide

DANGER
Electrical voltage and current from power, telephone, and communication
cables are hazardous.
To avoid ashock hazard:
vDo not connect or disconnect any cables or perform installation,
maintenance, or reconfiguration of this product during an electrical
storm.
vConnect all power cords to aproperly wired and grounded electrical
outlet. Ensure outlet supplies proper voltage and phase rotation
according to the system rating plate.
vConnect any equipment that will be attached to this product to properly
wired outlets.
vWhen possible, use one hand only to connect or disconnect signal
cables.
vNever turn on any equipment when there is evidence of fire, water, or
structural damage.
vDisconnect the attached power cords, telecommunications systems,
networks, and modems before you open the device covers, unless
instructed otherwise in the installation and configuration procedures.
vConnect and disconnect cables as described below when installing,
moving, or opening covers on this product or attached devices.
To Disconnect:
1. Turn everything OFF (unless instructed otherwise).
2. Remove power cords from the outlet.
3. Remove the signal cables from connectors.
4. Remove all cables from devices.
To Connect:
1. Turn everything OFF (unless instructed otherwise).
2. Attach all cables to devices.
3. Attach signal cables to connectors.
4. Attach the power cords to outlets.

Safety vii

The following general safety information should be used for all rack-mounted
devices:
DANGER
v
Always lower the leveling pads on the rack cabinet.
vAlways install stabilizer brackets on the rack cabinet.
vTo avoid hazardous conditions due to uneven mechanical loading,
always install the heaviest devices in the bottom of the rack cabinet.
Always install servers and optional devices starting from the bottom of
the rack cabinet.
vRack-mounted devices are not to be used as ashelf or work space. Do
not place any object on top of rack-mounted devices.
vEach rack cabinet might have more than one power cord. Be sure to
disconnect all power cords in the rack cabinet before servicing any
device in the rack cabinet.
vConnect all devices installed in arack cabinet to power devices installed
in the same rack cabinet. Do not plug apower cord from adevice
installed in one rack cabinet into apower device installed in adifferent
rack cabinet.
vAn electrical outlet that is not correctly wired could place hazardous
voltage on the metal parts of the system or the devices that attach to the
system. It is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that the outlet
is correctly wired and grounded to prevent an electrical shock.
CAUTION:
vDo not install aunit in arack where the internal rack ambient temperatures
will exceed the manufacturer’s recommended ambient temperature for all
your rack-mounted devices.
vDo not install aunit in arack where the air flow is compromised. Ensure
that air flow is not blocked or reduced on any side, front, or back of aunit
used for air flow through the unit.
vConsideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the
supply circuit so that overloading of the circuits does not compromise the
supply wiring or overcurrent protection. To provide the correct power
connection to arack, refer to the rating labels located on the equipment in
the rack to determine the total power requirement of the supply circuit.
v(For sliding drawers.) Do not pull out or install any drawer or feature if the
rack stabilizer brackets are not attached to the rack. Do not pull out more
than one drawer at atime. The rack may become unstable if you pull out
more than one drawer at atime.
v(For fixed drawers.) This drawer is afixed drawer and must not be moved
for servicing unless specified by manufacturer. Attempting to move the
drawer partially or completely out of the rack may cause the rack to
become unstable or cause the drawer to fall out of the rack.
