Connect the power cables
Procedure overview
Each system includes two hot plug power supplies, numbered PS1 and PS2, from bottom to top. You connect
both power supplies to power sources.
For high availability, you connect each power supply to a different circuit. You can also use redundant,
Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems to protect against a complete power outage.
Procedure
1.
Obtain the two power cables from the shipping carton.
2.
Connect the power cables to power supply units on each system.
3.
Connect the other end of each power cable to a power source, preferably on different circuits.
4.
Use the cable strain relief on each power supply to secure the power cable and prevent an accidental
disconnection.
