Route 5U enclosure power cords
This task provides direction to connect supplied power cords to the redundant power supply units (PSUs) connected to an
uninterruptible power system. Only connect PDUs to a power source with a safety electrical earth connection.
CAUTION Use only power cords supplied in the installation kit or those that meet product specifications.
CAUTION Adhere to power source and power connection requirements to avoid harm to equipment.
Only connect the power supply unit (PSU) to power sources that comply with product specifications and labels.

To route 5U enclosure power cords :
1. Select both power cords from the packaging and remove the cable ties.
2. Facing the rear of the rack cabinet, connect a power cord connector to each PSU.
3. Route the left power cord below the left outermost fan and connect the plug to an outlet on an independent power
distribution unit (PDU), allowing a minimum of slack.
4. Route the right power cord below the right outermost fan and connect the plug to an outlet on an independent PDU,
allowing a minimum of slack.
5. Secure each power cord, using the built-in secure ties on the PSU.
6. Proceed with routing data cables in the next tasks, leaving the power on sequence until after you complete all other
cabling tasks and are fully ready to test your connections.
