Connecting the Power Cords

The DSN-2100 storage system has a two power receptacles. Both must be used to connect
the DSN-2100 to an AC outlet:
1. Plug the female end of the power cord into the 3-pronged power connectors on the back
of the DSN-2100 storage system. Plug the other end of the power cord into a working AC
outlet that is not controlled by a wall switch.
2. Repeat the previous step using the second power cable and power receptacle on the
DSN-2100 storage system. For best results, all both power receptacles should be on a
different circuit.
