Connect products that have dual power supplies to two separate power
sources, for example, one commercial circuit and one uninterruptible
power supply (UPS). The power sources must be independent of each
other and must be controlled by a separate circuit breaker.

For products that have AC power supplies, ensure that the voltage and
frequency of the power source match the voltage and frequency on the
label on the equipment.

Products with AC power supplies have grounding-type three-wire power
cords. Make sure the power cords are plugged into single-phase power
systems that have a neutral ground.

Do not use household extension power cords with Cyclades equipment
because household extension cords are not designed for use with computer
systems and do not have overload protection.

Make sure to connect DC power supplies to a grounded return.

Ensure that air flow is sufficient to prevent extreme operating
temperatures. Provide a minimum space of 6 inches (15 cm) in front and
back for adequate airflow.

Keep power and interface cables clear of foot traffic. Route cables inside
walls, under the floor, through the ceiling, or in protective channels or
raceways.

Route interface cables away from motors and other sources of magnetic or
radio frequency interference.

Stay within specified cable length limitations.

Leave enough space in front and back of the equipment to allow access for
servicing.
