II. Recommended power socket
You are recommended to use a single-phase three-terminal socket with an earth
contact, which must be properly grounded. The building ground system is often buried
during the wiring engineering. Make sure that the building ground system is normal
before connecting the AC power cord.
III. Connecting an AC-input PSU
Take the H3C SecPath F1000-A firewall for example.
Step 1: Make sure that the grounding screw on the chassis is securely connected to the
earth ground.
Step 2: Make sure that the power switches are placed in the OFF position. Connect one
end of an AC power cord provided with the device to the socket of AC-input PWR0 on
the left-rear of the chassis and the other end to the AC mains supply.
Step 3: Repeat Step 2 to connect the PWR1. (Skip this step if you use only one PSU.)
Step 4: Place the PWR0 switch into the ON position.
Step 5: Place the PWR1 switch to the ON position. (Skip this step if you use only
PWR0.)
Step 6: Check that the PWR0 and PWR1 LEDs on the front panel light. ON means the
power connections are correct.
Step 7: Check that the SYS LED on the front panel is ON. ON means the hardware
system is working well.
