Grounding Requirements
For proper operation and safety, all powered rack-mountable components are
required to be properly grounded in accordance with (NFPA-70, 1993), Article 250.
All power distribution devices, branch wiring, and receptacles must be listed as
grounding-type devices.
When using power strips for electrical distribution, make sure that ground integrity is
maintained for each connection made. Plug each component into a reliably grounded
outlet.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to your equipment,
do not disable the power cord grounding feature. This equipment is designed
to be connected to a grounded (earthed) power outlet that is easily accessible
and located as close as possible to the equipment. The grounding plug is an
important safety feature.
