Preparing the Power Supply Equipment
This section describes the electrical specifications, facility power requirements, and grounding for the
PRIMEQUEST 1000 series.
To prevent accidents, confirm that the power supply equipment can supply enough power to the system. Electrical
engineering and installation work shall conform to local ordinances and local and national government regulations.
For details on the power supply equipment, see the
SPARC Enterprise/PRIMEQUEST Common Installation
Planning Manual
(C120-H007EN).
2.4.1
Electrical specifications
For details on the electrical specifications of the PRIMEQUEST 1000 series, see 1.3 Installation Specifications in
the
PRIMEQUEST 1000 Series Hardware Installation Manual
(C122-H004EN).
For details on the power cables, see 2.2.1 Basic interfaces and peripheral devices (PRIMEQUEST 1800E2) or
2.2.2 Basic interfaces and peripheral devices (PRIMEQUEST 1800E) in the
PRIMEQUEST 1000 Series Hardware
Installation Manual
(C122-H004EN).
For details on the connectors and their shapes, see 2.4.1 PRIMEQUEST 1000 series main unit in the
PRIMEQUEST
1000 Series Hardware Installation Manual
(C122-H004EN).
2.4.2
Facility power requirements and characteristics
To obtain the required degree of redundancy, the facility must have two independent supplies of power. Connect
the circuit breakers to the power receiver provided by the electric power company or to a UPS (uninterruptible
power supply).
If the main unit operates in an environment that experiences frequent power failures or has a power source that
often becomes unstable, the component failure rate tends to rise.
The PRIMEQUEST 1000 series supports the basic connection configurations shown in the following diagrams:
- Power line diagram for redundant power connections
- Power line diagram for dual power connections
For details on the power line configurations for redundant power connections and dual power connections, see 2.3
Power Cable Connections in the
PRIMEQUEST 1000 Series Hardware Installation Manual
(C122-H004EN).
2.4.3
Grounding
The PRIMEQUEST 1000 series is shipped with grounded (three-wire) power cables. You need to connect the power
cables to outlets with ground terminals. To determine the type of power supply in your building, contact the building
manager or a qualified electrical engineer.
