About this task
Perform the steps to provide power that are applicable to your power supply
model. Observe the following for all power connections:
Procedure
1. Connect each power supply to a different power source or circuit to provide
full redundancy.
2. Route the power cords so they will be out of the way when connected to the
power source. Ensure that the power cords have a minimum service loop of
15.2 cm (6 in.) and are routed to avoid stress.
3. Remember that power is supplied to the device as soon as the first power
supply is connected to a power source.
About this task
