wiring and receptacles, are listed or certified grounding-type devices.
Because of the high ground-leakage currents associated with this equipment, HP recommends the use of a

that is wired to an industrial-style plug. NEMA locking-style plugs or those complying with IEC 60309 are
considered suitable for this purpose. Using common power outlet strips to supply power to this equipment
is not recommended.
