Connecting The Eps-500 - Extreme Networks BlackDiamond 8800 Series Hardware Installation Manual

NOTE
Extreme Networks recommends that you mount the EPS-500 so that the output connectors are on the same side
as the external connector on the connecting switch. If you mount the EPS-500 with the connectors facing in the
opposite direction as the Extreme switch connector, leave at least 1 u between the switch and the EPS-500
through which to slide the power cords. Do not route the power cords around the equipment rack.
7 On each side of the unit, insert rack mounting screws through the rack and the mounting bracket
and secure the unit to the rack by fully tightening the screws.

Connecting the EPS-500

CAUTION
Do not attach the AC power cord to the EPS-500 unit until the unit is properly grounded at the electrical outlet and
the redundant power cord is connected.
1 Connect the keyed end of the EPS-500 redundant power cord to the power supply unit. The key is a
plastic tab on the connector housing that fits into the EPS-500 unit to ensure correct alignment of the
connector.
See Figure 225 for details on the connector key, and see
EPS-500 unit and on the switch.
2 Connect the other end of the redundant power cord to the Extreme switch.
The connector fits the slot in only one direction.
NOTE
If your switch was shipped with a metal cover plate over the redundant power input connector, remove the cover.
WARNING!
The redundant power input connector on the rear of the switch contains high energy and is a burn hazard. Use
care when connecting the redundant power supply cord to the rear of the switch.
