as motors or compressors. Attempting to power a large inductive load may result in damage to the
relay.
WARNING! Do not use this product to power critical patient care equipment, fire or smoke alarm
systems. Use of this product to power such equipment may result in personal injury and death.
WARNING! If this product is a model that requires assembly of its line cord or plug, all such assembly
must be performed by a licensed electrician and the line cord or plugs used must be suitably rated
based on the product's nameplate ratings and national and local electrical codes. Assembly by
unlicensed electricians or failure to use suitably rated line cords or plugs may result in electric shock,
fire, personal injury or death.
WARNING! This product contains a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth
defects, or other reproductive harm.
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.

The Dominion PX is an intelligent power distribution unit (PDU) thatallows
you to reboot remote servers and other network devices and/or to monitor
power in the data center.
The intended use of the Raritan Dominion PX is distribution of power to
information technology equipment such as computers and communication
equipment where such equipment is typically mounted in an equipment
rack located in an information technology equipment room.
Raritan offers different types of PDUs-- some are outlet-switching capable,
and some are not. With the outlet-switching function, you can recover
systems remotely in the event of system failure and/or system lockup,
eliminate the need to perform manual intervention or dispatch field
personnel, reduce downtime and mean time to repair, and increase
productivity.

L-brackets that Raritan provided.

Rackmount Safety Guidelines
In Raritan products which require rack mounting, follow these precautions:
Operation temperature in a closed rack environment may be
greater than room temperature. Do not exceed the rated
maximum ambient temperature of the Power Distribution Units.
See Specifications (on page 387) in the User Guide.
Ensure sufficient airflow through the rack environment.
Mount equipment in the rack carefully to avoid uneven mechanical
loading.
Connect equipment to the supply circuit carefully to avoid
overloading circuits.
Ground all equipment properly, especially supply connections, to
the branch circuit.
Circuit Breaker Orientation Limitation
Usually a PDU can be mounted in any orientation. However, when
mounting a PDU with circuit breakers, you must obey these rules:
Circuit breakers CANNOT face down. For example, do not
horizontally mount a Zero U PDU with circuit breakers on ceiling.
If a rack is subject to shock in environments such as boats or airplanes,
the PDU CANNOT be mounted upside down. If installed upsidedown,
shock stress reduces the trip point by 10%.
Note: If normally the line cord is down, upside down means the line
cord is up.
