The following sections describe the installation steps in detail. After completing

Step 1: Connect the Array to Power
A PS4000 array includes two modules that supply both power and cooling. One
functioning power supply and cooling module connected to a source of power is
required for array operation.
Obtain the power cables that were shipped with the array. If the array was not
shipped with power cables, see your PS Series support provider or reseller for
power cable information.
Connect both power supply and cooling modules to a source of power. Use the
cable strain relief to secure each power cable to the array.
For increased availability, follow these power recommendations:
• Connect the power supply and cooling modules to different sources of power
on separate circuits. See Figure 2-4.
• Connect one power supply and cooling module to a UPS system and connect
the other module to a different source of power.
Notes: Do not turn on power to the array. At this time, the power cables are only
for grounding purposes.
See Environmental Requirements on page 2-5 for information about
voltage requirements.
