Cabling and Powering Up the System
Powering Up the System
After cabling the system, connect to the power source and apply power to the system.
To power up the system:
WARNING: Be sure that all power enclosure, bus bar, and power bus box
circuit breakers are locked in the off position before connecting any power
components.
1. Connect to the power source:
— If the facility has an AC source, connect the power enclosure AC power
cords to an AC outlet.
— If the facility has a DC source, install the Facility DC cables kit. Refer to the
documentation that ships with that kit.
2. Apply power to the facility power connection, if needed.
IMPORTANT: If the power configuration does not include power enclosures, omit steps 3
through 5.
3. Unlock the circuit breakers on the power enclosure (1).
4. Set the switches to on (2). This action applies AC power to the hot-plug power
supplies.
5. Lock the switch in the on position (3).
