3.7. Connecting Power
This section describes connecting power. As soon as power is applied, the NetWall 6000 Series
will boot-up and cOS Core will start.
Important: Review the safety information
Before connecting power, please review the electrical safety information found in
Chapter 10, Safety Precautions

As standard, the 6000 Series is delivered with only a single PSU and the second PSU slot is
occupied by a dummy slot filler. The filler is necessary so the PSU alarm is not activated. A second
PSU must be ordered separately. The 6000 Series can operate with just one PSU installed and a
second can be added if required. When two PSUs are installed, the 6000 Series runs using power
from only one of the PSUs and the other delivers power only in the case of a failure by the
primary unit. Installing and swapping PSUs is discussed further in
.
Connecting AC Power
To connect power, follow these steps:
1.
Connect the end of the power cord to the power inlet on the NetWall 6000 Series. Note that
this entire procedure will be repeated if there is a second PSU installed.

There is a hinged silver metal plug retaining bracket on the PSU. This should be lifted up
before inserting the power cable. Once the power cable is plugged in, it should be moved
back over the plug to prevent it slipping out.
