Power supply and power cord use
Do not hold the power plug with a wet hand.
Do not disconnect/connect the plug while your hands are wet. Failure to follow this warning
may cause an electric shock.
Do not connect the ground wire to a gas pipe.
Never connect the ground wire to a gas pipe. Failure to follow this warning may cause a gas
explosion.
Plug in to a proper power source.
Use a grounded outlet with the specified voltage. Use of an outlet with a voltage other than that
specified causes fire and electrical leakage. Do not install the server in any environment that
requires an extension cord. Connecting to a cord that does not conform to the power supply
specs of the server causes overheating, resulting in fire.
Do not connect many power cords into a single outlet by using extension cords.
The electric current exceeding the rated flow overheats the outlet, which may cause a fire.
Secure the power plug into the outlet.
Insert the plug of power cords into the outlet completely. Arc tracking may be caused by
inserting the plug halfway and the possibility of fire is increased.
Do not use any unauthorized power cord.
Use only the power cords authorized by NEC. Electric current that exceeds the amount allowed
could cause fire. Also, observe the following precautions to prevent electrical shock or fire
caused by a damaged power cord.
• Do not stretch the cord harness.
• Do not bend the power cord.
• Do not twist the power cord.
• Do not step on the power cord.
• Uncoil the power cord before use.
• Do not secure the power cord with staples or equivalents.
• Do not pinch the power cord.
• Keep chemicals away from the power cord.
• Do not place any object on the power cord.
• Do not alter, modify, or repair the power cord.
• Do not use a damaged power cord. Replace the damaged power cord with a power cord of
the same standard. Contact your sales representative for replacement.
Do not unplug the power cord by holding the cable part.
Pull the power cord straight out by holding the plug. Pulling the power cord by holding the
cable part or applying extra pressure to the connector may damage the cable part, which may
cause a fire or electric shock.
