WARNING:
Make sure that the power source circuits are properly grounded, then use the power cord supplied
with the device to connect it to the power source.
WARNING:
Disconnect the power cord from all power sources to completely remove power from the device.
CAUTION:
Do not install the device in an environment where the operating ambient temperature might exceed
40
o
C (104
o
F).
CAUTION:
All devices with DC power supplies are intended for installation in restricted access areas only. A
restricted access area is where access can be gained only by service personnel through the use of a special tool,
lock and key, or other means of security, and is controlled by the authority responsible for the location.
CAUTION:
For a DC system, use a grounding wire of at least 6 American Wire Gauge (AWG). The 6 AWG wire
should be attached to an agency-approved crimp connector crimped with the proper tool. The crimp connector
should allow for securement to both ground screws on the enclosure. For the Ground lug, use UL listed Panduit
crimp connector, P/N LCD6-10A, and two 10-32, PPH, screws to secure crimp connector to chassis. The ground-
ing position is located on the side of the chassis adjacent to the ground symbol.
CAUTION:
For the DC input circuit to the system, make sure there is a Listed 30 amp circuit breaker, minimum -
48Vdc, double pole, on the input to the terminal block. The input wiring for connection to the product should be
Listed copper wire, 8 AWG, marked VW-1, and rated minimum 90 degrees celcius.
CAUTION:
Use a separate branch circuit for each AC power cord, which provides redundancy in case one of the
circuits fails.
CAUTION:
The POE power supply is designed exclusively for use with the FastIron X-Series POE devices. The
power supply produces extensive power to support 802.3af applications. Installing the power supply in a device
other than the FastIron X-Series POE will cause extensive damage to your equipment. Use a separate branch cir-
cuit for each AC power cord, which provides redundancy in case one of the circuits fails.
CAUTION:
Ensure that the device does not overload the power circuits, wiring, and over-current protection. To
determine the possibility of overloading the supply circuits, add the ampere (amp) ratings of all devices installed
on the same circuit as the device. Compare this total with the rating limit for the circuit. The maximum ampere rat-
ings are usually printed on the devices near the input power connectors.
CAUTION:
Make sure the power supply is properly inserted in the slot. Never insert the power supply upside
down.
CAUTION:
Do not attempt to install the power supply without first opening the latch on the front of the power
supply. Attempting to install the power supply with a closed latch will result in mechanical damage to the power
supply and power supply slot.
Preparing the Installation Site
Cabling Infrastructure
NOTE:
Ensure that the proper cabling is installed in the site. For information on cabling, see the following
