2. Plug the other end of the ac power cord into your ac power receptacle.

NOTE:

The ac power source should be a non-switched outlet to prevent accidentally turning off power.

3. Make sure the PWR A LED on the front panel is ON (green).

Using AC Power with DC Power Backup

"Procedure

To supply both ac and dc power to the 8600 chassis for power redundancy:

Make sure that the dc power source wires are not powered (i.e., the circuit breakers are open).

The ends of the dc power source wires (14 AWG ± 18 AWG solid or stranded wire) must be stripped of insulation. If they are not stripped of insulation, strip the tip of each wire (about 1/3-inch in length) before plugging the wire into the appropriate connector on the ±48V input terminal block.
