+
+This is what a **C13 outlet** looks like:
+
+{{< imgproc c13-outlet Resize "200x" >}}{{< /imgproc >}}
+
+This is what a **C20 inlet** looks like:

+
+This is what a **C19 outlet** looks like:

+
+## Power cord plugs and receptacles
+
+{{% alert title="Warning" color="warning" %}}
+Lambda workstations **must** be connected to a dedicated power circuit that
+isn't shared with other devices. Otherwise, the **breaker will trip and
+disconnect power to the circuit**.

+### SF-1300F14MG V1.0 1300W PSU
+
+For customers in North America, the SF-1300F14MG V1.0 1300W PSU power cord has
+a NEMA 5-15 plug. The plug inserts into NEMA 5-15 and NEMA 5-20 receptacles,
+which look like this:
+
+{{< imgproc 20A-15A-outlets Resize "400x" >}}{{< /imgproc >}}
+
+On request, a C13-C14 power cord can be substituted for use with power
+distribution units (PDUs) commonly found in data centers.
+
+### SF-1600F14HT 1600W PSU
+
+For customers in North America, the SF-1600F14HT 1600W PSU power cord uses a
+NEMA 5-20 plug. The plug inserts into a NEMA 5-20 receptacle, which looks like
+the receptacle on the right in the picture, below.
+
+{{< imgproc 20A-15A-outlets Resize "400x" >}}{{< /imgproc >}}
+
+On request, a C19-C20 power cord can be substituted for use with power
+distribution units (PDUs) commonly found in data centers.
+
+### SF-2000F14HP 2000W PSU
+
+For customers in North America, the SF-2000F14HP 2000W PSU power cord uses
+NEMA 6-20 or NEMA 6-15 connectors, which look like the ones in the third row
+in the picture, below.
+
+{{< imgproc NEMA-connectors Resize "400x" >}}{{< /imgproc >}}
+
+On request, a C19-C20 power cord can be substituted for use with power
+distribution units (PDUs) commonly found in data centers.
+
+## Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPSs)
+
+{{% alert title="Warning" color="warning" %}}
+Lambda workstations are high-performance systems and use a large amount of
+power. For this reason, **Lambda workstations can't reliably be used with
+Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPSs, or battery backups)**.
+
+If you use a UPS with your workstation, you might experience system
+instability and trouble booting.
