Safety Guidelines

1. Installation of this product should only be performed by a person who has knowledge and experience
with electric power.
2. Make sure the line cord is disconnected from power before physically mounting or moving the location of
this product.
3. This product is designed to be used within an electronic equipment rack. The metal case of this product is
electrically bonded to the line cord ground wire. A threaded grounding point on the case may be used as
an additional means of protectively grounding this product and the rack.
4. Examine the branch circuit receptacle that will supply electric power to this product. Make sure the
receptacle’s power lines, neutral and protective earth ground pins are wired correctly and are the correct
voltage and phase. Make sure the branch circuit receptacle is protected by a suitably rated fuse or circuit
breaker.
5. If the product is a model that contains receptacles that can be switched on/off, electric power may still be
present at a receptacle even when it is switched off.
Tip 1: The outlet (socket) shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.
Tip 2: For detailed information on any Raritan PDU's overcurrent protectors' design, refer to that model's
product specification on Raritan website's PDU Product Selector page
