NOTE: Heat dissipation is calculated using the PSU wattage rating.
NOTE: This system is also designed to connect to the IT power systems with a phase to phase voltage not exceeding 240 V.
NOTE: If a system with 2400 W AC PSU operates at low line 100–120 V AC, then the power rating per PSU is derated to 1400 W.
