Providing Power to the Device

Perform the steps to provide power to your power supply model. Observe the following precautions for all power connections:

• Before connecting power, refer to the following sources of information:
  • Electrical caution and danger statements in Safety Precautions and Facility Requirements.
  • Power supply specifications section in the Technical Specifications for power supply requirements of your device.
• Connect each power supply to a different power source or circuit to provide full redundancy.
• Route the power cords so they will be out of the way when connected to the power source.

  Ensure that the power cords have a minimum service loop of 15.2 cm (6 in.) and are routed to avoid stress.

  • Remember that power is supplied to the device as soon as the first power supply is connected to a power source.
