When connecting the rack equipment to the Liebert MP Advanced Power Strip’s receptacles, arrange cables and connections to avoid tangling and crisscrossing the power cables.
For power management purposes, record the receptacle where each piece of equipment is connected. Receptacles on the Liebert MP Advanced Power Strip have a numerical designation. Liebert MP Advanced Power Strips with more than one circuit are named with numbers and letters.
When connecting power to the Liebert MP Advanced Power Strip’s receptacles, follow generally accepted procedures, such as routing the power cables separately from low-voltage communication and control wires to prevent electromagnetic interference.
CAUTION
!
All configuration steps in this quick start guide must be completed before attempting to start up equipment connected to the Liebert MP Advanced Power Strip or Access Server.
