Step 1: Connect the PS5500 to Power

A PS5500 array includes three modules that supply both power and cooling. At
least two functioning power supply and cooling modules, connected to a source of
power, are required for PS5500 operation.
Note: See PS5500 Environmental Requirements on page 2-13 for information
about voltage requirements.
Obtain the power cables that were shipped with the array. If the array was not
shipped with power cables, contact your PS Series support provider or reseller for
power cable information.
At a minimum, connect all the power supply and cooling modules to a source of
power. Use the cable strain relief to secure each power cable to the array.
