Applying Power And Startup - AMX Epica DGX 32 Instruction Manual

Installation and Setup

Applying Power and Startup

The enclosures's universal power receptacles will accept all major international standard power sources.
(Two US power cords are included with all shipments unless ordered otherwise.) Maximum power
specifications are on each power receptacle (also listed on page 12). Always use earth-grounded power
cords / system with an Epica DGX 32.
The source electrical outlet should be installed near the Epica DGX 32, easily accessible, and properly
grounded. Power should come from a building branch circuit. We strongly recommend using a dedicated
line for the system's power. Use a minimum breaker current rating of 20 A for 110 V or 10 A for 230 V.
To avoid an overload, note the power consumption rating of all the equipment connected to the circuit
breaker before applying power.
Complete Power Redundancy Setup
For proper redundant operations, both power supplies must be powered at all times. To take full
advantage of dual power feeds and redundant power supplies on the Epica DGX 32, we recommend
cabling the primary Epica DGX 32 power feed, via a power strip to an outlet connected to one circuit
breaker and the redundant power feed via a power strip to an outlet connected to a second circuit breaker
(FIG. 18). For linked systems with redundant power supplies, repeat pattern.

Caution: We recommend attaching all power cords to a surge protector and/or an AC line
conditioner.
Power-Up Sequence
Caution: Each power supply has a small toggle switch to the left of its LEDs that controls internal
power and must remain flipped to the right for the system to operate. Do not flip this switch to the left.
The following instructions start with attaching only two source and destination devices for the purpose
of executing a test switch.
