Installation 27
Connect AC Power A standard IEC 320 power cord provides power to the computer. The
power supply input accepts 120/240V ac. The power supply is
autoswitching.
Operate the computer in an industrial or control room environment,
which uses some form of power isolation from the public low voltage
mains.
.
ATTENTION
The power cord must be connected to a terminal block and
Earth ground. Failure to follow this warning could result in
severe electrical shock.
Installing the computers in a panel, enclosure, or rack that is
already connected to Earth ground will satisfy this requirement.
Otherwise, connect your computer to Earth ground using a
1.3 mm
2
(16 AWG) or larger external wire.
The ground wire should have green insulation with a yellow
stripe for easy identification.
The power source must have its own disconnect. Do not
connect the computer to a supply that is connected to the main
electrical disconnect.
To prevent problems resulting from power surges or unexpected
power failure, you should protect the outlet with its own fuses
or circuit breakers, as well as an Uninterruptible Power Supply
(UPS) system.
Always shut down the operating system prior to removing
power to minimize performance degradation and operating
system failures.
