HP 1.9kVA HP Basic Power Distribution Unit Installation Guide - Page 4

Before you begin Overview This document provides installation instructions for qualified personnel for installing an HP Basic PDU. Safety and regulatory compliance For safety, environmental, and regulatory information, see Safety and Compliance Information for Server, Storage, Power, Networking, and Rack Products, available at the HP website (http://www.hp.com/support/Safety-Compliance-EnterpriseProducts). Important safety information Before installation, read the Important Safety Information that ships with the product you are connecting. This document is also available on the HP website (http://www.hp.com/support/importantsafetyinformation). This PDU is intended only for ITE loads with linear/PFC input current. If non-linear loads are connected, the nameplate current rating of the PDU must be reduced by a factor of 0.8. WARNING: A risk of personal injury from electric shock and hazardous energy levels exists. The installation of options and routine maintenance and service of this product must be performed by individuals who are knowledgeable about the procedures, precautions, and hazards associated with AC power products. Follow these safety precautions when connecting multiple hardware components to power sources. WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and damage to the equipment: • Connect only to a circuit providing branch circuit overcurrent protection of appropriate current rating. • Connect the input power cord into a grounded (earthed) electrical outlet that is located near the equipment and is easily accessible. • Be sure all circuit breakers are in the off position before connecting input power. • Be sure that the load products connected to the HP PDU are adjusted for, or otherwise capable of operation from the same line voltage supplying the PDU. Failure to verify the voltage can lead to severe equipment damage. • Do not overload the PDU. The total input current rating of all equipment connected to each output cannot exceed the total output rating marked on the PDU. • Use only the hardware provided to install the PDU.
