Perform the following steps to label each end of the two redundant ac-power
switch input-power cables:
1.
Label the rack power-distribution end “Power source <name>, outlet <id> to
redundant ac-power switch <location> <MAIN | BACKUP> input.” For
example, “Power source D2, outlet 4 to redundant ac-power switch pos 7
MAIN input.” One cable is labeled “MAIN;” the other is labeled “BACKUP.”
2. Label the redundant ac-power switch end “redundant ac-power switch
<location> <MAIN | BACKUP> input from Power source <name>, outlet
<id>.” One cable is labeled “MAIN;” the other is labeled “BACKUP.”
Connecting the input-power cables to the redundant ac-power
switch
You will find it easier to connect the input-power cables to the redundant ac-power
switch before you install the redundant ac-power switch in the rack.
Perform the following steps to connect the input-power cables to the redundant
ac-power switch:
1. Connect the main input-power cable to the redundant ac-power switch.
2. Connect the backup input-power cable to the redundant ac-power switch.
3. Secure both the redundant ac-power switch input-power cables using the clips
of the redundant ac-power switch. See Figure 5.
Installing the redundant ac-power switch in the rack
You must install the redundant ac-power switch in the rear of the rack before you
connect the redundant ac-power switch to the site power.
Perform the following steps to install the redundant ac-power switch in the rack:
1. Use the hardware location chart to determine where to install the redundant
ac-power switch in the rack. The redundant ac-power switch can be installed
horizontally in a rack slot or vertically in one of the side slots of the rack.
2. Position the four “C” clips in the rack’s mounting bar, as shown in Figure 6 on
page 14.
