    Advisory Note, regarding ETMXE-DR/DT (aka jupiter) 20 slot enclosures:
    
    US, and other 110v applications, be _aware_ of the power cord.  Due to
    regulatory requirements around maximum currents and labelling and etc
    it comes with a 20A rated plug.  (I think the NEMA pattern is 5-20).
    This is ALMOST like the usual 5-15 and SOME convenience outlets will
    take both.  Some will not.  The Cord And Plug Are Correct.  Users need
    to have an appropriate outlet.
    
    The plug looks sort of like this:

    The current drawn varies by nominal line voltage and the connector
    requirements vary by country so its impossible to be generally
    specific...
    
    (The numercally inclined may want to calculate backwards from the 800
    odd watts and wonder why.  Its Been Done.  Whats there is correct,
    allowing for power factor, low line voltage, etc, etc....)
    
    thanks
