Basic GigaVUE H Series Connections and Configuration 73
Connecting Power to the GigaVUE-HC3
The GigaVUE-HC3 supports AC and DC power in a 1+1 or 2+2 redundant
configuration. In all cases, only a single power supply module (PSM) is required to
operate the node. However, connecting PSMs in a 1+1 or 2+2 configuration provides
redundant power.
The procedure for connecting power to the GigaVUE-HC3 is similar to the other
GigaVUE H Series nodes:
1.
Plug an approved C13 power cable into each of the PSMs at the rear of the
GigaVUE-HC3 chassis.

2.
Plug the other end of the power cables into a power source that can supply
adequate power. For optimal power protection, plug the PSMs into separate
circuits.
When connecting to the external AC power source, ensure that a Surge Protective
Device (SPD) is installed at the AC power inlet.
For information on GigaVUE-HC3 power requirements, refer to AC- and
DC-Powered GigaVUE-HC3 on page 19 .
3.
Power is turned on when the node is plugged in, and turned off when the node is
unplugged.
To remove a PSM, refer to Removing a Power Supply Module on page 74 .
