6. Wide universal AC input range compatible with global industrial and commercial mains voltage standards

Applicable Industries

Installation Requirements

1. Exclusive installation inside Dell Precision T5610, T7810, R7910 workstation chassis only; non-interchangeable with standard ATX PC power supplies
2. Ensure workstation chassis front and rear ventilation grilles remain unobstructed to maintain PSU cooling airflow path
3. Connect mains AC input via rated IEC C13 power cord with minimum 18 AWG copper conductor cross-section
4. All DC power output connectors fully seated and locked into motherboard, GPU and storage device sockets

Usage Precautions

1. Do not operate workstation with PSU internal cooling fan failure; immediate hardware shutdown mandatory upon fan stall detection
2. Strictly avoid stacking workstation units without side ventilation clearance to prevent PSU over-temperature protection activation
3. Disconnect mains AC power cord before PSU removal/replacement to eliminate residual +5 V standby rail live voltage hazard
4. Conduct internal dust cleaning maintenance every 12 months to prevent heat sink fin blockage and thermal overload
5. Do not modify DC output wiring harness pin configuration; pin alteration will trigger permanent PSU protection latch shutdown
