World Trade safety information

Several countries require the safety information contained in product publications to be presented in

their national languages. If this requirement applies to your country, safety information documentation is

included in the publications package (such as in printed documentation, on DVD, or as part of the product)

shipped with the product. The documentation contains the safety information in your national language

with references to the U.S. English source. Before using a U.S. English publication to install, operate, or

service this product, you must first become familiar with the related safety information documentation.

You should also refer to the safety information documentation any time you do not clearly understand any

voltages, disconnect all power cords. For AC power, disconnect all power cords from their AC power

source. For racks with a DC power distribution panel (PDP), disconnect the customer’s DC power source

to the PDP.

• When connecting power to the product ensure all power cables are properly connected. For racks with

AC power, connect all power cords to a properly wired and grounded electrical outlet. Ensure that the

outlet supplies proper voltage and phase rotation according to the system rating plate. For racks with a

DC power distribution panel (PDP), connect the customer’s DC power source to the PDP. Ensure that the

proper polarity is used when attaching the DC power and DC power return wiring.
