❏ Do not lay signal cables outside buildings without protection
from lightning and weather.
❏ Use the shortest possible cable between the processor unit
and peripherals.
❏ To ensure that maximum protection for the equipment and
operators is achieved, check the protective grounds at each
power outlet for adequacy.

Caution
To avoid the possibility of damage to equipment or
components during cabling, unplug all other devices in
the system before you begin with the installation of any
additional units.
Power Cords
Motorola system enclosures (except for the equipment racks that
house rack-mounted systems) have separable power cords
pluggable at both the wall socket and the equipment. System
enclosures should be placed within six feet of their electric
receptacles. The use of extension cords is strongly discouraged.
Motorola computers configured for 115 Vac United States domestic
use are shipped with a three-prong NEMA type 5-15P (or, in the
case of the 20-slot enclosure, NEMA type 5-20P) plug on the power
cable. For 230 Vac domestic applications, the 20-slot enclosure
receives a NEMA type 6-15P plug; rack systems are equipped with
a NEMA L6-30P plug.
ElectroMagnetic Compatibility Guidelines
To ensure continued ElectroMagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
compliance, the following guidelines must be adhered to:
❏ Use well-shielded high quality cable to interface all active
ports on the device.
