NOTE:
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.

At the front of the NetIron MLX-32 chassis, locate the power receptacle on the front panel of each power
supply that has been installed. See Figure 3.39.
2.
Lift the cord retainer and connect a Foundry-supplied AC power cord to the power supply.

Connecting DC Power to a NetIron MLX-32 Chassis
You can use a DC power source for the NetIron MLX-32 chassis. This is supported through use of a DC-to-DC
power supply. DC power must be supplied at 48 V and 60 A. The DC-to-DC supply provides the DC power to the
chassis at 12 V and 200 A.
WARNING:
The procedure in this section is for qualified service personnel.
To connect a DC power source, you must use the following directions:
1.
Use a Phillips head screwdriver to remove the center screw holding the safety cover over the power supply
lugs. See Figure 3.39.

2.
Use a Phillips head screwdriver to unscrew each of the power lugs. See Figure 3.40.
