Installing the Hardware
The following table lists the environmental specifications for the X-Pedition’s DC power supplies.
DC Power Supply Installation Procedure
To install a DC power supply on the X-Pedition8000 or X-Pedition 8600:
1. Ensure that the DC power supply is not powered on.
2. If a coverplate is installed over the DC power supply slot, use a #2 Phillips screwdriver to
remove it. If you are replacing a power supply, unplug the power cable from the supply you are
replacing, loosen the captive screws on the power supply’s front panel, then pull the supply out
of the chassis.
3. Slide the DC power supply all the way into the slot, firmly but gently pressing to ensure that
the pins on the back of the power supply are completely seated in the backplane.
4. Use a #2 Phillips screwdriver to tighten the captive screws on each side of the DC power
supply to secure it to the chassis.
5. Attach wires to the terminal blocks on the front of the unit. To attach a wire, loosen the
terminal screw, insert the exposed end of the wire, and tighten the terminal screw.
6. Connect the safety ground wire to a reliable earth ground.
7. Connect the DC input wiring to a DC power source. See Figure28 on page 64 and Figure 29
on page 6 4 for a diagram of the wiring connections between the X-Pedition and a DC power
source.
