Connecting the EPS-LD to the Switch

CAUTION

Do not attach the AC power cord to the EPS-LD unit until the unit is properly grounded at the electrical outlet and the redundant power supply cord is connected.

One end of the EPS-LD cord has a keyed connector to ensure correct alignment of the connector

(Figure 151). The key is a plastic tab on the cord connector housing that fits into the EPS-LD unit to ensure correct alignment of the connector.

To connect the EPS-LD to the switch:

1Connect the keyed end of the cord to the power supply unit (see Figure 152).

2Align and tighten the captive retaining screws on the connector.

3Connect the other end of the EPS-LD cord to the Extreme switch. The connector fits in only one direction.

NOTE

If your switch was shipped with a metal cover plate over the redundant power input connector, remove the cover.

WARNING!

The redundant power input connector on the rear of the switch contains high energy and is a burn hazard. Use care when connecting the redundant power supply cord to the rear of the switch.
