Connecting DC Power to a CDE200
Connecting DC Power to a CDE200The CDE200 ships fully populated with two DC PMs installed in the PM slots on the rear of the chassis;
two DC power cables are shipped separately. The chassis has one building ground stud and one PM
ground stud. The minimum cabling requirement for connecting DC power to a CDE200 is one PM
connect, but it is recommended that you use both PM connects. Figure D-2 shows the rear view of a
fully-connected CDE200 and provides the location of the ground studs and PMs.
