Installing a 2700 W DC-Input Power Supply
Warning
Before performing any of the following procedures, ensure that power is removed from the DC 
circuits. To ensure that all power is removed, locate the circuit breakers or fuses on the DC power 
lines that service the DC circuits. Turn OFF the DC power line circuit breakers and remove the DC 
power line fuses. 
Statement 322
 
To install a DC-input power supply, follow these steps:
Step 1 Ensure that the system (earth) ground connection has been made. For ground connection installation 
instructions, see the “Establishing the System Ground” section on page 3-22.
Step 2 Remove the plastic bag attached to the front panel and put aside. This bag contains two plastic terminal 
block barriers, two cable ties, and two cable holder covers.
Step 3 Verify that power is off to the DC circuit on the power supply that you are installing. As an added 
precaution, place the appropriate safety flag and lockout devices at the source power circuit breaker, or 
place a piece of adhesive tape over the circuit breaker handle to prevent accidental power restoration 
while you are working on the circuit.
Grasp both power supply handles, as shown in Figure 4-20. Slide the power supply into the power supply 
bay. Make sure that the power supply is fully seated in the bay.
