Power off the DC power sources that you will connect to the power supplies before you
continue.
STEP 1 |
Verify that the DC power source that will power the firewall is powered off.
In the following procedure, connect the DC power cables—and ground cable if you do
not use the screw-on ground point—to the DC terminal block before you attach the DC
terminal block to the firewall.
STEP 2 |
Connect one end of a 8 AWG ground cable (not included) to the dual-hole ground lug.
Connect the other end of the cable to earth ground. Remove the two ground screws from
the ground point on the front panel of the firewall. Hold the ground lug (that you previously
attached to the ground cable) over the screw holes, and then re-attach the screws to secure
the cable to the firewall. Do not torque the screws to more than 6 in-lbs.
STEP 3 |
Insert the positive and negative DC cables into the terminal block. The terminal connectors
support 12 to 30 AWG cables, but 16 AWG is recommended. Secure each cable using a
1/8” flat head screwdriver. Turn the terminal screws clockwise until tight. Do not torque the
screws to more than 2 in-lbs.
STEP 4 |
(
Optional
) Connect a second DC power source for redundancy.
STEP 5 |
Plug the cabled DC terminal block into the DC inputs on the firewall. Secure the terminal
block by turning the two screws on each side of the block clockwise and torque to 3 in-lbs.
STEP 6 |
Power on the DC power source to power on the firewall. The firewall powers on and the
power LED turns green.
