How to Apply Power to the System

This procedure instructs on how to apply power to a system that has already been installed. For initial start-up instructions, see the Start-up section of this manual.

1. Close (turn ON) the main circuit breaker of the power source supplying power to the PDU.

2. Set the Main Input on the PDU to ON.

3. Power the PDU distribution circuit breakers: a. For PDU with transformer: Set the Main Output circuit breaker on the PDU to ON.

After the Main Output breaker has been closed, both PDU distribution panels will be energized.
