Compatibility & safe handling

  • Verify full model, suffix, region and revision using the actual unit nameplate and matching manufacturer manual. Wattage and plug shape alone do not establish compatibility.
  • Check AC input range, rail and combined output limits, derating, signaling/pinout, cooling direction, mounting and system qualification before installation.
  • PSU modular-side cables are model-specific. Never reuse an unapproved lead; a matching plug can carry a different pinout.
  • Server hot-plug is permitted only in qualified host configurations and under the host’s documented redundancy/live-service procedure.
  • Never open or internally probe the supply. Retire damaged, wet, burnt, corroded, modified or unidentified units.
