Chapter 4 Removal and Replacement Procedures
Removing and Installing the DC-Input Power Supplies
Caution
To prevent a short circuit or shock hazard after wiring the DC-input power supply, reinstall the terminal
block covers.
Step 20
After you confirm that all installation steps are completed correctly, remove any safety flags, lockout
devices, or adhesive tape from the source DC circuit breakers, and energize the input circuits to the
power supplies.
Step 21
Turn the power switch to the on (|) position on the power supply. Turning on the power switch also
engages a pawl that locks the power supply in the chassis.
Step 22
Verify the power supply operation by ensuring that the power supply front panel LEDs are in the
following states:
•
INPUT OK 1 LED—If you have source DC cables attached to the VE-1 pair of power supply inputs,
verify that the LED is green. If source DC cables are attached and the LED is not lit, source DC
might not be on or the source DC voltage is less than or equal to –33 VDC. If the source DC voltage
is between –33 VDC and –40.5 VDC, the LED can be either on, off, or flashing.
•
INPUT OK 2 LED—If you have source DC cables attached to the VE-2 pair of power supply inputs,
verify that the LED is green. If source DC cables are attached and the LED is not lit, source DC
might not be on or the source DC voltage is less than or equal to –33 VDC. If the source DC voltage
is between –33 VDC and –40.5 VDC, the LED can be either on, off, or flashing.
•
INPUT OK 3 LED—If you have source DC cables attached to the VE-3 pair of power supply inputs,
verify that the LED is green. If source DC cables are attached and the LED is not lit, source DC
might not be on or the source DC voltage is less than or equal to –33 VDC. If the source DC voltage
is between –33 VDC and –40.5 VDC, the LED can be either on, off, or flashing.
•
FAN OK LED is green.
•
OUTPUT FAIL LED is not lit.
If the LEDs indicate a power problem, see the
“Identifying Startup Problems” section on page E-3

Installing the 4000 W Power Supply (Wiring for 4000 W Operation; Right Power Bay)
See
Figure 4-26
for item location and identification on the 4000 W DC-input power supply.
Note
You should allow a minimum of 2.5 to 3 inches (63.5 mm to 76.2 mm) of space between the side of the
power supply and any obstructions (such as the side of an enclosed equipment rack). This space is needed
to install and secure the DC-input power cables correctly. Incorrectly routing the DC-input power cables
can cause airflow blockage into the power supply and inadequate strain relief in the cables. The exact
amount of space required depends upon the gauge and flexibility of the DC-input power cables you are
using.
Note
For proper 4000 W DC-input redundant power configurations, source DC for one 4000 W DC-input
power supply must come from the same battery system (A feed); source DC for the other 4000 W
DC-input power supply must come from another battery system (B feed).
