CAUTION:
Make sure you insert the power supply right-side up. It is possible to insert the supply upside
down, although the supply will not engage with the power backplane when upside down. The power supply is
right-side up when the power connector is on the left and the fan vent is on the right.
5.
Press the two latches near the edges of the supply outward to lock the supply in place.
6.
Connect the power cord to the power supply.
7.
Connect the plug end of the power cord into an outlet.
Installing a DC Power Supply
Use the following procedures for DC power supplies in FastIron stackable devices. See “Power Supplies” on
page 2-17 for a list of which power supplies are supported in which devices, and for illustrations of power supply
placement in the Foundry devices.
WARNING:
Before beginning the installation, see the precautions in “Power Precautions” on page 3-4.
1.
If necessary, before installing a power supply, remove the power supply locking screw located in the center
rear of the device (illustrated below).
2.
If the empty power supply bay has a cover plate, press inward on the two latches near the edges of the cover
plate to unlock the plate, then remove the plate.
3.
Remove the power supply from its packaging.
4.
Prepare the positive, negative, and ground wires by stripping about 1/4" of insulation off the end of each one.
(Use 14 AWG wire.)
5.
Loosen the three screws used to hold the wires in the connector. These are the wires under the following
markings:
6.
Slip the ground wire into the opening under the
marking until the wire is fully in place, then tighten the
screw to hold the wire in place.
7.
Repeat for the negative (—) and positive (
+
) wires.
8.
Pull gently on each wire to make sure they are securely fastened in the connector.
9.
With one hand, hold the bar on the front panel of the power supply. With the other hand, support the
underside of the power supply, and insert the power supply into the empty power supply slot. Press until the
supply is completely in the slot, so that the connectors on the back of the supply are fully engaged with the
pins on the power backplane.
CAUTION:
Make sure you insert the power supply right-side up. It is possible to insert the supply upside
down, although the supply will not engage with the power backplane when upside down. The power supply is
right-side up when the power connector is on the left and the fan vent is on the right.
