Gateway 7400 Rackmount Installation Guide - Page 29

Connecting the power Gateway recommends that a licensed electrician install a dedicated 230 VAC line with sufficient amperage rating for the system drawer to a breaker box or distribution panel. The power cords must be wired directly into the breaker box. If you use 115 VAC, make sure not to overload any power strip or wall outlet. Observe the following guidelines: s Only one system drawer per power strip (15 or 20 amps) or wall outlet (15 or 20 amps). For critical applications, plug the system drawer power cords into separate circuits. s If an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is installed, plug only one CPU drawer into it. The power cords must be routed through the cabinet floor opening and to the system drawer. Make sure that the current demands are balanced and that the system maintains a good ground connection. Depending on the plug-in configuration, the following devices may share the same power strip: Plug-in Configuration 230 VAC 115 VAC Power Strip Total Supported Devices 15 amp 20 amp 15 amp 20 amp s System drawer s QHS storage drawer s Tape storage drawer Total must not exceed 12 amps s System drawer s QHS storage drawer s Tape storage drawer s Monitor s autoswitcher Total must not exceed 12 amps s System drawer only s System drawer with other peripherals not to exceed a total of 16 amps for the whole strip. 24 Installation
