Connecting to Network Devices

47

In case you have installed a redundant switch module, its Ethernet port must also be connected directly to the Transcend NMS terminal.

Another way of connecting the Ethernet port to an out-of-band Ethernet network is to connect it to a CoreBuilder 7200 Ethernet/ATM Interface Card or a CB7400 High Density Ethernet/ATM Interface Card installed in the same chassis.

Connecting to the This section describes how to connect the CoreBuilder 7000 family ATM Power Source switch to the power source.

Selecting a Power Cord

The following power cords and accessories are supplied with the unit:

1 or 2 power cord(s) (2.5 meters each)

1 strain relief bracket per power cord

3 screws, M3 x 8 Phillips

The power cord supplied with the unit can be used with loads of up to 5 Amps AC.

If power cord(s) WERE NOT supplied with the unit, choose a cord based on the following information:

For units installed in the USA or Canada: Select a flexible, three-conductor power cord that is UL-listed and CSA-certified, with individual conductor wire size of #18 AWG, and with a maximum length of 4.5 meters. The power cord terminations should be NEMA Type 5-15P (three-prong earthing) at one end and IEC appliance inlet coupler at the other end.

The following types are acceptable: SV, SVE, SVO, SVT, SVTO, SVTOO, S, SE, SO, SOO, ST, STO, STOO, SJ, SJE, SJO, SJOO, SJT, SJTOO, SP-3, SPE-3, SPT-3, G, W.

For units installed in all other countries, select only a flexible, three-conductor power cord, approved by the cognizant safety organization of your country. The power cord must be of the type HAR (Harmonized), with an individual conductor wire size of 0.75 sq.mm. The power cord terminations should be a suitably-rated earthing-type plug at one end and an IEC appliance inlet coupler at the other end. Both of the power cord terminations must carry the certification label (mark) of the cognizant safety organization of your country.
