Cisco Systems Cisco ME 3400 manual Wiring the DC-Input Power Source

Appendix C Connecting to DC Power

Wiring the DC-Input Power Source

Complete these steps:

Step 1 Remove all paint or oxidation from the rack at the point of the grounding connection.

Step 2 Use a 3/16-inch flat-head screwdriver to loosen the grounding screw on the rack.

Step 3 Connect the wire to a ring lug (large enough for the rack screw to fit through).

Step 4 Use a 3/16-inch flat-head screwdriver and the screw to attach the ring lug to the rack.

Step 5 Tighten the grounding screw on the rack over the ring lug.

Repeat these steps for each switch being installed.

Wiring the DC-Input Power Source

Before you wire the DC-input power source, review the warnings in this section and this information:

If the switch software detects that the circuit boards are not receiving power from an internal power supply, the software sends a message like this to the console:

00:06:54: %POWER_SUPPLIES-3-PWR_FAIL: Power supply 2 is not functioning

00:06:54: %PLATFORM_ENV-1-DUAL_PWR: Faulty internal power supply 2 detected

This message means that an internal power supply is not providing power. To receive this alert if power fails on the ME 3400G-12CS-DC switch with two power feeds, we recommend that you connect one feed to the left DC power terminal block and the other to the right DC power terminal block. (See the example in Figure C-6.)
