Connect DC Power

For DC powered models, you must supply your own power

cables and one Phillips screwdriver. DC power cables must

have a wire gauge of at least 16 AWG and a 72 VDC, 6A

rating. Remove the protective covers from the DC power

terminal blocks. Use the Phillips screwdriver to tighten the

connections.

Caution: Always connect the earth electrical grounds first,

and keep the earth grounds connected whenever you are

working on the device.

1. Connect a ground wire from the chassis ground to the rack.
2. Connect one end of another ground wire at the ground

connector at Power 1 on the device chassis. Then connect

the other end of the ground wire to the ground connection

at the DC power source.

3. Connect the negative (– 48VDC) side of a DC power cable

to the Power 1 terminal on the chassis, labeled with the

minus symbol (–), and connect the positive (0V) side of the

DC power cable to the Power 1 terminal labeled with the

plus symbol (+). The negative (minus symbol) terminal is

in the center, and the plus terminal is to the right.

4. Connect the other ends of the negative side and the

positive sides of the DC cable to the negative and positive

connectors of the power source.

5. If you want to connect to redundant power, repeat steps

2 and 3 for Power 2 and then connect the other ends to a

separate power source.

Caution: If possible, turn off the power to the power sources

while you are making the above connections.

Note: Be sure to connect the positive sides of the cables to

the positive sides of the power sources, and the negative

sides of the power cables to the negative sides of the power

sources. The two power LEDs on the front panel light up to

indicate that both power sources are on.
