DANGER

Do not remove the covers under any circumstances.

Do not connect the equipment to, or disconnect the equipment from, a mains power outlet during an electrical storm.

DANGER

To avoid shock hazard:

The power cord must be connected to a properly wired and earthed socket.

Any equipment to which this product will be attached must also be connected to properly wired sockets.

Power Cords

For your safety, IBM provides a power cord with a grounded attachment plug to use with this IBM product. To avoid electrical shock, always use the power cord and plug with a properly grounded outlet.

IBM power cords used in the United States and Canada are listed by the Underwriters Laboratories (UL) and certified by the Canadian Standards Association (CSA).

For units intended to be operated at 115 volts: Use a UL listed and CSA certified cord set consisting of a minimum 18 AWG, type SVT or SJT, three conductor cord, a maximum of 4.57 metres (15 feet) in length and a parallel blade, grounding type attachment plug rated 15 amperes, 125 volts.

For units intended to be operated at 230 volts (U.S. use): Use a UL listed and CSA certified cord set consisting of a minimum 18 AWG, type SVT or SJT, three conductor cord, a maximum of 4.57 metres (15 feet) in length and a tandem blade, grounding type attachment plug rated 15 amperes 250 volts.

For units intended to be operated at 230 volts (outside the U.S.): Use a cord set with a grounding type attachment plug rated 13 amperes (minimum), 250 volts. The cord set should be marked <HAR> and have the appropriate safety approvals for the country in which the equipment will be installed.

Important: To isolate the monitor from the electrical supply you must remove the plug from the mains power socket. The monitor should be situated as close to the mains socket as possible, allowing easy access.
