Power On
Now that you've installed your PTX10004 in the rack and grounded the chassis, you're ready to connect
it to power.
The PTX10004 supports AC, DC, high-voltage alternating current (HVAC), and high-voltage direct
current (HVDC). In this guide, we show you how to connect AC power. See the
guide
for information on other power options.
1. Wrap and fasten one end of the electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap around your bare wrist,
and connect the other end to a site ESD point.
2. If the AC power source outlet has a power switch, turn it off.
NOTE: If you need power source redundancy, you can attach each power cable to separate
power sources.
3. Turn off the power switch on the power supply.
4. Attach each power supply to a dedicated power source.
5. Set the three DIP switches on the power supply to indicate whether one or both power feeds are
used, and to indicate the amperage of the feeds. Together, these switches determine if the chassis
operates at 3,000 W, 5,000 W, or 5,500 W.
If you're using both power feeds, set switch 1 and switch 2 to the on (|) position. Power is shared. If
you're not using power source redundancy, set the unused source to the off (O) position. The LED
turns red and indicates an error if a power source input is not in use and the DIP switch is on (|).
