HP FlexFabric 12500E Installation Manual page 41

Eight pairs of wiring terminals (marked PSU1 through PSU8) are available on the DC terminal block of
the 12508E/12518E. The wiring terminals correspond to the power modules. The power source provides
power to the switch through the wiring terminals. If slot 1 is installed with a power module, the wiring
terminals marked PSR1 or PSU1 must be connected to the power source with a DC power cord to make
the power module operate correctly.
The 12508E-DC and 12518E-DC models adopt the PSE20KD1 DC power system.
To connect the PSE20KD1 DC power cords:
1. Remove the screws from the power frame.
2. Secure the blue DC power cord to the NEG (–) terminal on the terminal block with screws using a
Phillips screwdriver.
3. Secure the ring terminal of the black power cord to the RTN (+) terminal on the terminal block with
screws using a Phillips screwdriver.
