C ha p te r 2 Installation Co m p l ia n ce Power The unit comes with one 100 - 240 VAC +/- 10%, 150W, 50/60Hz power supply module. A second identical module is an optional accessory for use when redundancy is necessary. These modules plug in to the back panel and are secured with thumbscrews. The power to each supply connects an A/C mains power source through the IEC connector provided on the back panel of each power supply.

However, an additional power supply (also 150W) is available as an option to provide for system redundancy. Power supply modules are to be installed into their specialized slots on the far left and far right of the back panel.

I m po r ta nt : Attach the power cords to the power supply connectors and plug them into outlets protected by different breakers. It is crucial that the secondary power supply be plugged into an outlet on a different circuit breaker than the original power supply to ensure system redundancy. Adding the DC Power Module The DC power supply can be used with a redundant AC or DC power supply.
