Safety and Installation Statement
Grounding
This is a Class II product that uses double insulation to provide electrical safety of the
product from the main power source.
To ensure correct operation, compliance with Class A and Class B electromagnetic emis-
sion standards, and optimal safety, connect the 4mm grounding stud (labeled “Earth” on
rear face of unit) to an electrical ground.
If the network covers an area served by more than one PDU, be sure their electrical
safety grounds are securely interconnected.
Network cabling may occasionally be subject to hazardous transient voltages (such as
lightning or disturbances in the electrical utilities power grid). Handle exposed metal
components of the installation with caution.
Servicing
There are no user-serviceable parts inside these products. Any maintenance or repair
must be performed by approved service-trained personnel.

lTo prevent the E24 from overheating, do not operate in an area that exceeds the
maximum recommended ambient temperature of 40° C.
lInstallation of the E24 must comply with local and national electrical codes.
lTo prevent personal injury when mounting or servicing the E24, you must take care
to ensure the system remains stable.
lThe rack or cabinet should be adequately secured to prevent it from becoming
unstable and/or falling over.
lCircuit Overloading - Consideration should be given to the connection of the equip-
ment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of circuits might have on
over current protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment
nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
lReliable earthing of rack mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular
attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to
the branch circuit (use of a PDU, etc.)
Rack-Mount the E24
Hold the E24 and attach the bracket to rack using two 12-24 screws.
