Section 2. Installation

Overview

Section 2 provides recommendations and procedures for inspecting, installing, and 
testing the power supply. For more information about controls and connectors, refer 
to the front panel diagrams (Figure 1.1 to Figure 1.5) as well as the rear panel 
diagram (Figure 1.6) in Section 1.

Basic Setup Procedure

Table 2.1 provides a summary of the setup procedure and an overview of the 
subsections in this chapter. Use this table as a quick reference if you are familiar with 
the installation requirements for the power supply. If you require more information, 
each step in the table refers to a subsequent section which contains more details. 
Complete each step in the sequence given.
