Installation & Setup
Applying Power & Startup
Two standard US power cords for the redundant power supplies are provided for installations within the US. Maximum power specifications are on the power receptacle (also listed on page 13). Always use an
The source electrical outlet should be installed near the Octaire, 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 30 A for 110 V or 15 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 the dual power feeds and redundant power supplies on the Octaire, we recommend cabling the primary (upper) Octaire power feed(s) via a power strip to an outlet connected to one circuit breaker and the redundant (lower) power feed(s) via a power strip to an outlet connected to a second circuit breaker (see FIG. 19).
Note: We recommend attaching all power cords to surge protectors and/or AC line conditioners.

Power-Up Sequence
To apply power:
1.Attach the first source device and the first destination device (see page 21, “Attaching Inputs & Outputs”). Depending on the signal type (e.g., component signals), you may need to attach multiple input and output connectors.
Do not apply power to the source and destination devices until Step 7.
