Installing the DC Power Cable

Installing the DC Power Cable

  1. To install the DC power cable, use the space beneath the PSU tray to store the excess cable. Allow enough cable at each end to mate with the DC output side of the PSU and the DC input socket on the cradle.
  2. Use the DC cable aperture hole in the shelf backplate (see Rack Shelf Parts) to pass the DC cable through to mate with the cradle.
  3. Place the PSU into the tray behind the front plate with the mains connector nearest the power strip.
  4. Connect the DC cable to the PSU, ensuring the connector latches into place.
  5. Plug the mains lead into the AC input on the PSU and the other end into the power strip.
  6. Repeat this process for all PSUs on one side of the rack.
  7. After the first side of the rack is complete, the incoming mains cable can be plugged in. Using the appropriate regional-specific mains cable for the Rack’s location, plug it into the power strip (the connector is approximately halfway up the power strip, near the LED indicator).
    If the Rack is fitted with a PPU, plug the mains cable into the free plug coming out of the PPU.
    Do not plug the other end of the mains lead into the wall socket yet.
    Fitting the mains cable now makes it easier to install and work out the preferred path to route the cable to the wall socket.
