Connecting AC Power to a NetIron MLX-16 Chassis
AC power is supplied through an AC power cord that is installed at the rear of the NetIron MLX-16 chassis.

For the NEBS compliant installation, AC power connections shall use a SPD (surge protection device) in
order to protect the AC power supplies from damage to excessive power line surges.
