Wiring Instructions For A Dc Psu - Dell NX3230 Owner's Manual

NOTE: When installing, hot-swapping, or hot-adding a new PSU, wait for 15 seconds for the
system to recognize the PSU and determine its status. The PSU redundancy may not occur until
discovery is complete. Wait until the new PSU is discovered and enabled before you remove the
other PSU. The PSU status indicator turns green to signify that the PSU is functioning properly.

Wiring instructions for a DC PSU

Your system supports up to two –(48–60) V DC PSUs (when available).
WARNING: For equipment using –(48–60) V DC power supplies, a qualified electrician must
perform all connections to DC power and to safety grounds. Do not attempt connecting to DC
power or installing grounds yourself. All electrical wiring must comply with applicable local or
national codes and practices. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not
covered by your warranty. Read and follow all safety instructions that came with the product.
CAUTION: Wire the unit with copper only, unless otherwise specified, use only 10 American Wire
Gauge (AWG) wire rated minimum 90 ºC for source and return. Protect the –(48–60) V DC (1
wire) with a branch circuit over-current protection rated 50 A for DC with a high interrupt
current rating.
CAUTION: Connect the equipment to a –(48–60) V DC supply source that is electrically isolated
from the AC source (reliably grounded –(48–60) V DC SELV source). Ensure that the –(48–60) V
DC source is efficiently secured to earth (ground).
NOTE: A readily accessible disconnect device that is suitably approved and rated shall be
incorporated in the field wiring.
