Power Cord Specifications

Each power supply has a separate power cord. Standard power cords or jumper power cords are available for connection to the appliance. The jumper power cords for use in racks are available as an optional alternative to the standard power cords.

If you do not order the optional power cord with the system, you are responsible for selecting the appropriate power cord for the product. Using a incompatible power cord with this product may result in electrical safety hazard. Orders delivered to Argentina, Brazil, and Japan must have the appropriate power cord ordered with the system.
