DC Power Supply Considerations
In addition to the installation steps described in “Connecting a Power Supply Directly to the Chassis” on
page 3-5 and “Rack Mounting the Power Supply Tray” on page 3-6 DC power supplies have the follow-
ing additional considerations:
• Connect to a -48V reliably grounded DC SELV source if using either a PS-120I80DC48 or PS-
I40DC2448 power supply.
• Connect to a 24V reliably grounded DC SELV source if using a PS-100I80DC24 or PS-I40DC2448
power supply.
• Use common DC return connections for the DC power supplies. The DC return terminal conductor
should be connected to the equipment frame.
• The Branch Circuit Overcurrent Protection must be rated a Maximum of 15A.
• Use 12AWG solid conductors only.
• A readily accessible disconnect device that is suitably approved and rated shall be incorporated in the
field wiring.

source.
Connecting a DC Power Source
The DC power supply on your switch contains a power connector with three (3) square slots for connect-
ing the positive, negative, and ground wires from a DC power source.
