Powering Up the 7750 SR-a
The 7750 SR-a4 and 7750 SR-a8 do not have a power switch or internal circuit breaker to turn 
the power ON or OFF:
• For AC power, power is supplied from an AC power outlet.
• For –48 VDC power, the 7750 SR-a system DC power is supplied by a DC branch 
circuit. 
Power-Up
To power-up an AC powered system:
Danger: 
• You must comply with the general safety precautions and product requirements 
described in 
Site Preparation on page 47 and the requirements described in Installing 
PSUs on page 91
 before performing the procedures contained in this chapter.
• Do not power up a 7750 SR-a before verifying that all common equipment (chassis, 
power, cooling, and grounding) is connected correctly.
• Always keep your fingers away from rotating fan blades. Do not put your fingers or any 
tool in the fan tray if the fans are still spinning. 
Warning:  For correct thermal operation, ensure that Impedance panels are installed in all 
empty slots before powering up the 7750 SR-a.
Note: 
• You must complete the procedure 
Installing, Wiring, and Connecting an AC PSU on 
page 94
 (for systems using an AC power source) or Installing, Wiring, and Connecting 
a –48 VDC PSU on page 98
 (for systems using a DC power source), and the procedures 
in 
Installing Components on page 107 before proceeding with the power-up and 
initialization procedure.
• The primary copy of the 7750 SR-a TiMOS software is located on the compact flash 
memory card that must be installed on the CPM, as described in 
Installing the Internal 
CF Card on the CPM-a on page 111
.
• At power up, the fans initially run at full speed. Thereafter, the control system reduces 
the fan speed based on temperature. During normal operation, fans never turn off 
completely.
