• If an extension cord is used with this device make sure that the total
of the ampere ratings of all products used on this cord does not
exceedtheextensioncordampererating.Makesurethatthetotalof
all products plugged into the wall outlet does not exceed 15 amperes.
• Consideration should be given to the connection of equipment to the
supply circuit, and what effect overloading the supply circuit might
have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring.
• To help protect your system from sudden, transient increases and
decreases in electrical power, use a Tripp Lite Surge Suppressor, Line
Conditioner or Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS).
• Position system cables and power cables carefully; be sure that
nothing rests on any cables.

• Unplug the power cable before removing the power supply.
• If the system has multiple sources of power, disconnect power
from the system by unplugging all power cables from the power
supplies.
• Never push objects of any kind into or through cabinet slots. They
may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts resulting in a
risk of fire or electrical shock.

of the life support equipment or to significantly affect its safety or
effectivenessisnotrecommended.Donotusethisequipmentin
the presence of a flammable anesthetic mixture with air, oxygen or
nitrous oxide.
Rack Mounting Safety Instructions
• The ambient operating temperature in the rack may be an issue and
is dependent upon the rack load and ventilation. When installing in
aclosedormulti-unitrackassembly,makesurethatthetemperature
will not exceed the maximum rated ambient temperature.
• Before working on the rack, make sure that the stabilizers are secured
to the rack, extended to the floor, and that the full weight of the rack
rests on the floor. Install front and side stabilizers on a single rack or
front stabilizers for joined multiple racks before working on the rack.
• Always load the rack from the bottom up, and load the heaviest item
in the rack first.
• Always load the rack so that a hazardous condition is not created due
to uneven loading.
• Makesurethattherackislevelandstablebeforeextendingadevice
from the rack.
• Use caution when pressing the device rail release latches and sliding
a device into or out of a rack; the slide rails can pinch your fingers.
• After a device is inserted into the rack, carefully extend the rail into a
locking position, and then slide the device into the rack.
