Power Connections - PESA Cougar 3 User Manual

3.7 P C
OWER ONNECTIONS
Power for the Cougar3 router is derived from wall receptacles. No special direct wiring or heavy gauge
wire is required for this equipment. There are two power connector access ports, one located on the
upper left-hand side and the other on the upper right-hand side of the rear panel. These ports allow
access to the power receptacle on the power supply/controller module located in the slot associated with
each. In a non-redundant power installation, only one of the slots will have a power supply module
installed. Attach the power cord through the proper access port to the receptacle on the power supply
module. Each power supply carries its own dedicated power receptacle. Input power is not bussed
between modules. When two power supplies are used (for redundancy) a separate power cord must be
attached to each receptacle through its access port.
Each access port is equipped with a harness device for the input power cord that secures the cord to
prevent accidentally disconnecting the frame from its power source. To use the harness, slip the groove
on the power cord connector end horizontally into the opening of the harness.
Connecting the power cord to a source of power immediately applies power to the router. Do not apply
power for the first time until all signal and control connections have been made and verified.
Before applying power for the first time, please take time to go back over your installation and check for
electrically sound connections, proper connector placement and possible wiring errors.
