circuit.

CAUTION:

For operation in Europe, the NAS SCSI cluster requires two circuits rated in excess of the

combined load of the attached systems. Refer to the ratings marked on the back of each cluster component

when determining the total system's electrical load.

See your system and storage system documentation for more information about the specific power requirements for your

cluster system's components.

Dell recommends the following guidelines to protect your cluster system from power-related failures:

For cluster nodes with multiple power supplies, plug each power supply into a separate AC circuit.

Use uninterruptible power supplies (UPS).

For some environments, you may consider having backup generators and power from separate electrical substations.

Each cluster component must have power supplied by two or three separate AC circuits—one circuit to each component power

supply. Therefore, the primary power supplies of all the NAS SCSI cluster components are grouped onto one or two circuits

and the redundant power supplies are grouped onto a different circuit.
