Sun products are designed to work with single-phase power systems having a grounded neutral conductor.

Your Sun product is shipped with a grounding type (3-wire) power cord. To reduce the risk of electric shock, always plug the cord into a grounded power outlet.

Cover

You must remove your top cover in order to add boards or internal storage devices. Be sure to replace the top cover before powering up your Sun product.

Warning -

It is not safe to operate Sun products without the top cover in place. Failure to take this precaution may result in personal injury and system damage.
