Chapter 2: Installation 13 • Keep the appliance away from radiators and heat sources. Also, do not block cooling vents. • Do not spill food or liquids on the appliance components, and never operate the appliance in a wet environment. If the appliance gets wet, see the applicable section in the troubleshooting guide or contact the trained service provider. • Use the appliance only with approved equipment. • Allow the appliance to cool before removing covers or touching internal components. • Operate the appliance only from the type of external power source that is indicated on the elec- trical ratings label. If you are not sure of the type of power source that is required, consult the service provider or local power company. • Be sure that the monitor and attached devices are electrically rated to operate with the power that is available in the current location. • Use only power cables that are provided with the appliance. • To help prevent electric shock, connect the appliance and peripheral power cables into properly grounded electrical outlets. These cables are equipped with three-prong connectors to help ensure proper grounding. Do not use adapter connectors or remove the grounding prong from a cable. • Observe extension cable and power strip ratings. Make sure that the total ampere rating of all products that are connected to the power strip does not exceed 80 percent of the ampere ratings limit for the power strip. • To help protect the appliance from sudden, transient increases and decreases in electrical power, use a surge suppressor, line conditioner, or uninterruptible power supply. • Carefully position appliance cables and power cables. Route cables so that they cannot be stepped on or tripped over. Be sure that nothing rests on any cables. • Do not modify power cables or connectors. Consult a licensed electrician or the power company for site modifications. Always follow the local and national wiring rules. Rack mounting the appliance Before installing the appliance and other components in the rack (if not already installed), stabilize the rack in a permanent location. Install the equipment starting at the bottom of the rack, and then work to the top. Avoid uneven loading or overloading of racks.
