5. Connect the positive feed wire to the terminal block marked + (plus).
6. Connect the negative feed wire to the terminal block marked - (minus).
Warning
Check to see if there are any exposed copper strands coming from
the installed wires. When this installation is done correctly there
should be no exposed copper wire strands extending from the
terminal block. Any exposed wiring can conduct harmful levels of
electricity to persons touching the wires. E12
7. Secure the tray cable near the rack framework using multiple cable ties
to minimize the chance of the connections being disturbed by casual
contact with the wiring. Use at least four cable ties, separated four
inches apart. Locate the first one within six inches of the terminal
block.
Note
This system will work with a positive grounded or negative grounded
DC system. E13
8. Verify that the circuit breaker is in the OFF position.
9. Connect the supply-cable wires to the circuit breaker.
10. Energize the circuit breaker.
It takes the switches of a stack a minimum of two minutes to initialize
their management software and activate the default settings. For
instructions on how to monitor the processes, refer to “Monitoring the
Initialization Processes” on page 93.
