X6-4 Director Hardware Installation Guide

NOTE

•

The equipment installation must meet NEC/CEC code requirements. Consult local authorities for regulations.

•

Power is supplied to the device as soon as the first power supply is connected to a power source.

CAUTION

The maximum input voltage for connection to the HVAC/HVDC power supply should not exceed 305 VAC and

400 VDC .

1. If connecting to AC power, attach an AC power plug to the unterminated wires on the HVAC/HVDC power cord

that meets your facility and local code requirements. If connecting to DC power, verify how you will attach these

unterminated wires to your site's DC power terminal blocks.
For more information on the HVAC/HVDC power cord available for these power supplies, see

Using HVAC/HVDC

Power Cords

2. Ground the chassis by attaching a ground wire from building the ground to an appropriate crimp connector and

attaching the connector to the 2AWG Panduit LCD2-14AF lug located to the left of the bottom fan assembly near the

bottom of the chassis.

3. Install all power supplies provided for your device if not already installed.

See

Installing a Power Supply

for procedures.

4. When installing the device in a rack, route power cables from power distribution units (PDUs) so they do not cover air

vents in chassis.

5. Before connecting the power cord to a power supply, first remove the cable restraint cover, if it is installed under the

power cord connector. Remove the cover by unscrewing the two Torx head screws.
Save the retainer cover and screws for reinstallation after plugging in the power cord.

NOTE

When removing the metal cable restraint cover under the high voltage power supply inlet, remove the 2 Torx

head screws only.

1. Torx head screws

2. Metal cable restraint cover

6. Connect power cords to installed power supplies.

The connector on the power cord is keyed so that it fits only one way into the power supply connector. Note that the

connector's latch should be positioned under the connector and will latch when the power cord connector is fully

inserted into the power supply.
