The Z9000 is designed to support two hot-swappable power supplies.
  NOTE: If using a single PSU, you must install a blank plate in the other PSU slot. 
Dell Force10 recommends using PSU0, if installing only one power supply.
  WARNING: To prevent electrical shock, make sure the Z9000 is grounded 
properly. If you do not ground your equipment correctly, excessive emissions 
may result. Use a qualified electrician to ensure that the power cables meet 
your local electrical requirements.
  WARNING: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage can occur if components 
are mishandled. Always wear an ESD-preventive wrist or heel ground strap 
when handling the Z9000 and its components.
