Installing the DC power supply 33

5Push the new power supply partway into the bay, leaving the terminal block at the side of the power supply exposed.

See “Job aid: Inserting the DC power supply” (page 36).

6Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the screw that secures the plastic safety cover to the power supply and remove the cover. Set the cover aside; you will replace it later.

7Note the positions of the ground studs and of the positive and negative power inputs. See “Job aid: DC power supply input and ground stud location” (page 36).

Either +VDC or –VDC can be referenced to the frame ground for +48 VDC (nominal) or –48 VDC (nominal) applications.

8Make sure that the +DC cable is always connected to the positive terminal and the –DC cable is always connected to the negative terminal.
