Step 7
Attach the appropriate lugs to the DC-input wires. The maximum width of a lug is 0.300 inch (7.6 mm).
Note
Step 8
Attach the source DC cables to the terminal block (see

Note
After ensuring that all wire connections are secure, reinstall the terminal block cover.
Step 9
To prevent a short circuit or shock hazard after wiring the DC-input power supply, you must reinstall the
Caution
terminal block cover.
Caution
In a system with dual power supplies, connect each power supply to a separate power source. In case of
a power source failure to one supply, the second power source should still be available.
Remove any safety flag and lockout devices or any tape from the circuit breaker switch handle, and
Step 10
restore power by moving the circuit breaker switch handle to the on (|) position.
Turn the power switch to the on (|) position on the power supply. Turning on the power switch also
Step 11
engages a pawl that locks the power supply in the chassis.
Verify the power supply operation by ensuring that the power supply front panel LEDs are in these states:
Step 12
INPUT OK LED is green
•
FAN OK LED is green
•
OUTPUT FAIL LED is not lit
•
If the LEDs indicate a power problem, see the
OL-5781-08
The wire should be sized according to local and national installation requirements and electrical
codes. Use only copper wire. For North American installations of 2500 WDC-input power
supplies, use fine-stranded copper conductors rated for 90°C.
