Cisco ADE 2130 and 2140 Series Appliance Power

Power Connections

To connect the AC power cord to the Cisco ADE 2130 and 2140 Series appliance:

Caution If only one power supply is installed, it must be in the right-hand slot and a power supply blank filler panel must be installed in the left-hand slot to ensure proper cooling. (See location 5 in Figure 1-5 on page 1-9.)

Step 1 Review the information in the “Safety Warnings” section on page x and the “Safety Guidelines” section on page 2-2.

Warning This equipment must be grounded. Never defeat the ground conductor or operate the equipment in the absence of a suitably installed ground conductor. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority or an electrician if you are uncertain that suitable grounding is available. Statement 1024

Step 2 Plug the AC power cord into the AC power input connector at the rear of the appliance. (See location 5 in Figure 1-5 on page 1-9.)

Step 3 Connect the other end of the power cord to a power source at your site.

Step 4 If you are installing a second redundant AC power supply, repeat Steps 1 and 3 for the second power supply.

Step 5 After confirming that all installation steps are complete, continue with the installation of the network and console cables. (See “Connecting the Network and Console Cables” section on page 3-18.)

Caution Do not power on the unit, yet.

Proceed to the next section,“Grounding the Rack,” to continue the installation.

Grounding the Rack

To avoid the potential for an electrical shock, you must include a third wire safety ground conductor with the rack installation. If the appliance power cord is plugged into an AC outlet that is part of the rack, then you must provide proper grounding for the rack itself. If the appliance power cord is plugged into a wall outlet, the safety ground conductor in the power cord provides proper grounding only for the appliance. You must provide additional, proper grounding for the rack.

Connecting the Appliance DC Power and Ground

Before you can connect DC power to the Cisco ADE 2130 and 2140 Series appliance, you must provide an adequate chassis ground (earth) to your appliance.

To avoid the potential for an electrical shock, you must connect an earth ground conductor to the appliance. The earth ground conductor must be connected to a 10-to-14 AWG copper wire to the earth ground studs on the rear of the appliance (see location 3 in Figure 1-5 on page 1-9). The ground
