The three source wires on the other end of the power connector cable connect the array to centralized DC power plant equipment, typically through a bus bar above the cabinet. -
Page 52: Ship Kit Changes
Caution – Change the Link Rate switch only when there is no power applied to the controller tray. The link rate setting is read only at power-on. Before turning off any power switches on a DC-powered tray, you must disconnect the two-pole 20-amp circuit breaker. Sun StorageTek 6140 Array Release Notes • November 2008... -
Page 53: Connecting Power Cables
Connecting Power Cables To use the DC power option (–48-VDC) to power the array module, review the following points. Ensure that you use a separate power source for each optional DC power ■ connector on the array module. Connecting to independent power sources maintains power redundancy. -
