Safety and Grounding
Read the following information before installing or operating
your APC Power Distribution Unit (PDU):
• This PDU is intended for indoor use only.
• Do not install this PDU where excessive moisture or heat
is present.
• Never install any wiring, equipment, or PDUs during a
lightning storm.
• Plug this PDU into a three-wire, grounded power outlet
only. The power outlet must be connected to appropriate
branch circuit/mains protection (fuse or circuit breaker).
Connection to any other type of power outlet may result
in a shock hazard.
• Use only the supplied brackets for mounting.
• Do not use extension cords or adapters with this PDU.
• Do not work alone under hazardous conditions.
• Check that the power cord, plug, and socket are in good
condition.
• Disconnect the PDU from the power outlet before you
install or connect equipment to reduce the risk of electric
shock when you cannot verify grounding. Reconnect the
PDU to the power outlet only after you make all
connections.
• Use a protective earth connector with equipment. This
type of connector carries the leakage current from the
load devices (computer equipment). Do not exceed a
total leakage current of 3.5 mA.
