WARNING:
If the installation requires a different power cord than the one supplied with the device, make
sure you use a power cord displaying the mark of the safety agency that defines the regulations for power
cords in your country. The mark is your assurance that the power cord can be used safely with the device.
4.
Connect the power cord to the wall outlet.
5.
Observe the LEDs on the power supply front panel. The AC OK and DC OK LEDs should be green (steady),
which indicates the power supply is providing power to the chassis components. If it is amber or OFF, the
power supply is not providing power to the chassis components. The ALM LED should be OFF.
Connecting DC Power to the Chassis
You can use a DC power source for the Foundry chassis. This is supported through use of a DC to DC power
supply. DC power must be supplied at 48 V and 30 A.
To perform this task, you need the following items:
•
Flathead screwdriver
•
Phillips-head screwdriver
•
#6 AWG wire (grounding wire)
•
#8 AWG wire (input wire)
•
Crimping tool
To connect a DC power source:
1.
Crimp #6 AWG ground wire and connect it to the ground position on the chassis. The ground position is
located on the side or rear of the chassis next to the ground symbol. See the illustrations in Step 4.
2.
Use a flathead screwdriver to remove the two screws holding the transparent cover over the power supply
lugs. The following illustration shows the location of the screws and lugs.
3.
Use a Phillips-head screwdriver to remove each of the power lugs.
4.
Crimp #8 AWG input wire into the power lugs and reconnect the power lugs to the power supply unit.
