Geist Policy on Conflict Minerals
This document details Geist’s corporate policy regarding the use of conflict
minerals. The policy expressed in this document should be considered to
cover the Geist and Geist Europe divisions of Vertiv Inc.
Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Act which was passed by the US Congress
in 2010 requires certain companies to annually disclose their use of conflict
minerals. Conflict minerals covered under this act include tantalum, tin,
tungsten, and gold.
Although Geist is not directly subjected to the requirements of the DoddFrank Act, Geist recognizes that all companies within the electronics
manufacturing industry supply chain are impacted by this legislation. Geist
supports the intent of the law, which is the reduction of violence within the
Democratic Republic of the Congo and will take several actions to both
advance the goals of the Dodd-Frank Act and to provide exceptional
support to our customers.
· Geist will work with our direct suppliers to identify purchased components
and materials that contain tin, tantalum, tungsten or gold.
· Geist will work with our direct suppliers to trace sources of any tin,
tantalum, tungsten or gold used in our products back to the smelter.
· Geist will document our efforts to trace tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold
minerals back to the smelter and will accurately report the results to our
customers.
· Geist will continue to monitor industry progress in identifying conflict-free
smelters and will adjust corporate policy as the electronics supply chain
becomes more fully documented.
GM1196 R-Ser ies v5 Instruction Manual
Geist will not require that our direct suppliers source only conflict-free
minerals until an adequate number of smelters has been reliably identified
and audited by The Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC) and the
Global e-Sustainability Initiative (GeSI) to service the electronic industry
supply chain. Mandating a conflict-free supply chain before an adequate
number of smelters has been identified will prohibit the use of all tin,
tantalum, tungsten, and gold originating in the Democratic Republic of the
Congo and surrounding countries. This prohibition would cut off the sole
income source for many artisanal miners within the region and may result in
increased violence within the Democratic Republic of the Congo in direct
opposition to the goals of the Dodd-Frank Act. Geist will work continuously
with our direct suppliers in order to annually increase the percentage of
documented conflict-free minerals that are used in our products until all
products can be certified as conflict-free.

NOTE
(Note: load up to full nameplate rating are permitted during
short term abnormal operating conditions).
Chapter 2 - Installation
Pre-Installation
· For standard temperature models, the ambient temperature of the installation
location, such as an IT rack, should be no greater than 45°C if the PDU is loaded
to its full nameplate current rating. The ambient temperature of the installation
location should be not greater than 60°C if the PDU normal current load is a
maximum 50% of the nameplate and individual receptacle ratings.
· Install the PDU such that the amount of airflow required for safe operation of
equipment is not compromised.
· Mount the PDU so that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven
mechanical loading.
· Follow nameplate ratings when connecting equipment to the branch circuit. Take
into consideration the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on
overcurrent protection and supplied wiring.
· The PDU relies on the building installation for protection from overcurrent. A
certified overcurrent protection device is required in the building installation. The
overcurrent protection device should be sized according to the PDU’s nameplate
ratings and local/national electrical code.
· Reliable earthing of rack-mount equipment should be maintained. Particular
attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to
the branch circuit. The PDU must be connected to an earthed socket outlet.
· PDU is intended for restricted-access locations. Only qualified service personnel
should install and access the PDU.
· For pluggable equipment, install the PDU so the input plug or appliance coupler
may be disconnected for service.
· The PDU is intended for indoor use only. Do not install the unit in wet or outdoor
environments, and do not install it next to water tanks or plumbing.
· The PDU is intended for use with TN, TT, or IT power supply systems.

Installation
1. Using appropriate hardware, mount unit to rack. See next section for examples.
2. Plug PDU into an appropriately-rated and protected branch-circuit receptacle.
3. Plug in the devices to be powered by the PDU.
4. Turn on each device connected to the PDU. Sequential power-up is recommended to
avoid high inrush current.
Mounting
