Safety and Grounding
Read the following information before installing or operating your APC
Rack Power Distribution Unit (PDU):
• This PDU is intended for indoor use only.
• Do not install this PDU where excessive moisture or heat is
present.
• Never install any wiring, equipment, or PDUs during a lightning
storm.
• Plug this PDU into a three-wire, grounded power outlet only. The
power outlet must be connected to appropriate branch circuit/
mains protection (fuse or circuit breaker). Connection to any other
type of power outlet may result in a shock hazard.
• Use only the supplied brackets for mounting.
• Do not work alone under hazardous conditions.
• Check that the power cord, plug, and socket are in good condition.
• Disconnect the PDU from the power outlet before you install or
connect equipment to reduce the risk of electric shock when you
cannot verify grounding. Reconnect the PDU to the power outlet
only after you make all connections.
• Use a protective earth connector with equipment. This type of
connector carries the leakage current from the load devices
(computer equipment). Do not exceed a total leakage current of
3.5 mA.
