Dc Power Connections - Avaya VSP 7000 Series Installing

Caution:
Ensure you only use an appropriately rated AC power cord. Do not use an extension
cord.
Warning:
The only way to turn off the switch is to disconnect the power. Always connect the AC power
cord in a location that can be reached quickly and safely in case of an emergency.

DC power connections

To connect your switch to DC power you require DC power cables and ground cables that meet the
requirements of your local electrical code. Avaya does not supply the cables for connecting the DC
power supply to the DC power source. Select cables that comply with the electrical code of the
country where you use the DC power supply.

Caution:
Risk of equipment damage
Make sure that the connection cables used with the DC power supply are appropriate for use
with your DC power source. Consider gauge, flammability, and mechanical serviceability when
determining the type of cables to use.
Voltage:
Risk of injury from electric shock
Before working on this equipment, be aware of proper safety practices and hazards involved with
electrical circuits. Use only power cords that have a grounding path. Ensure the switch is properly
grounded before connecting a power source.
Note:
VSP 7000 Series switches do not have a power switch. Ensure that your DC power source is off
when connecting DC power cables to the back of the switch power supply. Verify all terminal
connections, and then connect the DC power cables to your DC power source. When you
connect the DC power supply to a suitable DC power source, the switch powers up immediately.
You must prepare the cables by stripping insulation from the end of the cable approximately 0.8 inch
(2 cm) before you fasten each cable to a power supply terminal. The following figure shows the DC
power supply terminals and DC power supply status LEDs.
