WARNING: Do not push any objects through the openings of the PDU. Doing so may cause fire or electric shock
by shorting out interior components.
WARNING: There is a possibility of severe electrical shock from either the live or neutral side of any of the power
outlets or their wiring, even if one of the circuit breakers is disabled.
WARNING: The PDU is intended for indoor use only.
WARNING: To help protect the PDU from electrical power fluctuations, use a surge suppressor, line conditioner
or uninterruptible power supply.
WARNING: Be sure that nothing rests on the cables of the PDU and that it is not located where it may be
stepped on or tripped over.
WARNING: Do not spill food or liquids on the PDU. If it gets wet, disconnect the power immediately and contact
Avocent.
WARNING: Keep the PDU away from heat sources.
WARNING: Disconnect power from the product by unplugging the power cord from either the electrical outlet or

installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.
WARNING: The PDU relies on protective devices in building installations. Please refer to Appendix A for Listed
