• Operate the product only from the type of external power source indicated on the
electrical ratings label. If you are not sure of the type of power source required, consult
your service provider or local power company.
• To help avoid damaging your system, be sure that the voltage selection switch (if
provided) on the power supply is set to match the power available at your location:
• 110 volts (V), 60 hertz (Hz) in most of North and South America and some Far
Eastern countries such as South Korea and Taiwan.
• 100 V, 50 Hz in eastern Japan and 100 V, 60 Hz in western Japan.
• 230 V, 50 Hz in most of Europe, the Middle East, and the Far East.
• Be sure that attached devices are electrically rated to operate with the power available in
your location.
• To help prevent electric shock, plug the system and peripheral power cables into properly
grounded electrical outlets.
• Use only approved power cables. If you have not been provided with a power cable for
your system or for any AC powered option intended for your system, purchase a power
cable that is approved for use in your country. The power cable must be rated for the
product and for the voltage and current marked on the product’s electrical ratings label.
The voltage and current rating of the cable should be greater than the ratings marked on
the product.
• The peripheral power cables are equipped with three-prong plugs to help ensure proper
grounding. Do not use adapter plugs 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 plugged into the extension cable or power strip does not exceed 80
percent of the ampere ratings limit for the extension cable or power strip.
• To help protect your system from sudden, transient increases and decreases in electrical
power, use a surge suppressor, line conditioner, or uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
• Position system cables and power cables carefully; 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 plugs. Consult a licensed electrician or your power
company for site modifications.
• Always follow your local and national wiring rules.
• Move products with care; ensure that all casters and stabilizers are firmly connected to
the system. Avoid sudden stops and uneven surfaces.
