Power Considerations
Each chassis supports up to eight -48 VDC, 80-amp power feeds, four per PFU. Each feed consists of a supply
and return cable.
The power source must be a UL/CSA listed device with a regulated output no greater than -60VDC.Important
Typically, the DC power feeds are fed from a power distribution frame (PDF) to a power distribution panel
(PDP) at the rack.
The DC power Battery Return (BR) or positive terminal, must be grounded at the source end (power feed
or mains power end).
