NOTE: The battery returns of the DC power supply should be connected as
an isolated DC return (DC-I).
Before you begin connecting DC power to the device:
• Ensure that you have taken the necessary precautions to prevent electrostatic discharge
(ESD) damage (see
Prevention of Electrostatic Discharge Damage ).
•
Ensure that you have connected the device chassis to earth ground.
CAUTION: Before you connect power to the device, a licensed electrician
must attach a cable lug to the grounding and power cables that you supply.
A cable with an incorrectly attached lug can damage the device (for
example, by causing a short circuit).
To meet safety and electromagnetic interference (EMI) requirements and
to ensure proper operation, you must connect the chassis to earth ground
before you connect it to power. For installations that require a separate
grounding conductor to the chassis, use the protective earthing terminal
on the device chassis to connect to the earth ground. For instructions on
connecting earth ground, see
“Connecting Earth Ground to a QFX3500
Device” on page 215 or “Connecting Earth Ground to QFX3600 or QFX3600-I
Devices” on page 201 .
•
Install the power supply in the chassis. For instructions on installing a power supply in
a QFX3500 device, see
Installing a Power Supply in a QFX3500 Device . For instructions
on installing a power supply in a QFX3600 or QFX3600-I device, see Installing a Power
Supply in a QFX3600 or QFX3600-I Device
Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available:
•
DC power source cables (14–16 AWG) with ring lug (Molex 190700069 or equivalent)
(not provided)
• Phillips (+) screwdriver, number 2 (not provided)
• Multimeter (not provided)
To connect DC power to a QFX3500, QFX3600 or QFX3600-I device:
1.
Attach the grounding strap to your bare wrist and to a site ESD point.
2.
Verify that the DC power cables are correctly labeled before making connections to
the power supply. In a typical power distribution scheme where the return is connected
to chassis ground at the battery plant, you can use a multimeter to verify the resistance
of the –48V and RTN DC cables to chassis ground:
•
The cable with very low resistance (indicating a closed circuit) to chassis ground is
positive (+) and will be installed on the V+ (return) DC power input terminal.
