WARNING: Do not attempt to modify or use an AC power cord set that is not the exact

type required. You must use a power cord set that meets the following criteria:

Rating: In the U.S. and Canada, cords must be UL (Underwriters Laboratories, Inc.)

Listed/CSA (Canadian Standards Organization) Certified type SJT, 18-3 AWG (American

Wire Gauge). Outside of the U.S. and Canada, cords must be flexible harmonized

(<HAR>) or VDE (Verbena Deutscher Electrotechniker, German Institute of Electrical

Engineers) certified cord with 3x 0.75 mm conductors rated 250 VAC.

Connector, wall outlet end: Cords must be terminated in grounding-type male plug

designed for use in your region. The connector must have certification marks showing

certification by an agency acceptable in your region and for U.S. must be listed and

rated for 125% of the overall current rating of the server.

Connector, server end: The connectors that plug into the AC receptacle on the server

must be an approved IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) 320, sheet C13,

type female connector.

• Cord length and flexibility: Cords must be less than 4.5 meters (14.8 feet) long.

If DC power supplies are installed:

Connection with a DC (Direct Current) source should only be performed by trained

service personnel. The server with DC input is to be installed in a Restricted Access

Location in accordance with articles 110-26 and 110-27 of the National Electric Code,

ANSI/NFPA 70. The DC source must be electrically isolated from any hazardous AC source

by double or reinforced insulation. The DC source must be capable of providing up to

300 watts of continuous power per feed pair.
Mains DC power disconnect: You are responsible for installing a properly rated DC

power disconnect for the server system. This mains disconnect must be readily

accessible, and it must be labeled as controlling power to the server. The UL listed

circuit breaker of a centralized DC power system may be used as a disconnect device

when easily accessible and should be rated no more than 10 amps.
Grounding the server: This server is intended for installation with an isolated DC

return (DC-I per NEBS GR-1089, Issue 3). To avoid the potential for an electrical

shock hazard, you must reliably connect an earth grounding conductor to the server.

The earth grounding conductor must be a minimum 14 AWG connected to the earth ground

stud(s) on the rear of the server. The safety ground conductor should be connected to

the chassis stud with a Listed closed two-hole crimp terminal having 5/8-inch pitch.

The nuts on the chassis earth ground studs should be installed with a 10 in-lbs of

torque. The safety ground conductor provides proper grounding only for the server. You

must provide additional, proper grounding for the rack and other devices installed in

it.
Overcurrent protection: Overcurrent protection UL Listed circuit breakers must be

provided as part of each host equipment rack and must be incorporated in the field

wiring between the DC source and the server. The branch circuit protection shall be

rated minimum 75 VDC, 10A maximum per feed pair. If the DC power system for the

equipment rack is installed with more than 10 amperes of protection, you must provide

supplemental protection for the server. The overall current rating of a maximum

configured server is 8 amperes.

Temperature and Ventilation

CAUTION:

Temperature -- The temperature, in which the server operates when installed

in an equipment rack, must not go below 5°C (41°F) or rise above 35°C (95°F).

Extreme fluctuations in temperature can cause a variety of problems in your

server.

CAUTION:

Ventilation -- The equipment rack must provide sufficient airflow to the

front of the server to maintain proper cooling. The rack must also include

ventilation sufficient to exhaust a maximum of 1023 BTUs (British Thermal Units)
