AC Power Requirements
This chapter describes the AC power requirements for the Oracle MICROS hardware.
MICROS workstations are based on highly sophisticated hardware components that
are designed to provide efficient and trouble-free operation.
Proper installation of the AC power and grounding system is essential to minimize the
possibility of interference and enhances the performance and reliability of the
hardware.
• Preferred AC Power System
• AC Power System Grounding
• Additional Methods for AC Power
• AC Power Consumption and Volt-Amp Ratings for MICROS Equipment
Preferred AC Power System
All power conductors and equipment grounding conductors must be isolated from
other power circuits in the facility to ensure that electrical noise produced by other
equipment does not create interference for the system hardware.
To accomplish this, install a power distribution panel intended for the sole use of the
MICROS hardware. Do not use this dedicated panel to supply other electrical loads in
the facility. Run the panel’s feeder supply directly from the main source panel for the
facility.
