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.

lInstallation of the Gateway unit must comply with local and national electrical
codes.
lTo prevent personal injury when mounting or servicing the Gateway unit, ensure
that the rack or cabinet is adequately secured so that the system remains stable.
lCircuit Overloading - Consult the equipment nameplate ratings when connecting
the equipment to the supply circuit to avoid overloading of circuits, which can
adversely affect current protection and supply wiring.

be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit
(for example, the use of PDUs)..
Attaching the Brackets
lThe Gateway EP042 is not a full 1RU. It is recommended that the Gateway be
mounted to the rack vertically using mounting brackets.
lUsing a Phillips number-1 screwdriver, use the screws supplied with the Gateway
EP042 bracket.Place the mounting bracket on the ends of the Gateway EP042
and secure using the two screws.
