Preparation
NOTE: Make sure that the switch on the remote power source is in the OFF position until you are ready to
supply power to the chassis.
Before you supply power to your chassis, Dell Force10 recommends that you re-inspect your equipment
rack and chassis.
Verify that:
• The equipment rack is properly secured and grounded.
• The chassis is bolted and secured into your equipment rack.
• The chassis is grounded.
• Each power supply module is properly installed and secured.
• The AC-Cord Retainer is installed, if applicable (AC systems).
• The power switch is in the OFF position, if applicable (DC systems).
• Power cables connect to a compliant remote power source.
• Both fan trays are installed and secured.
• All line cards, RPMs, and SFMs are properly installed and secured.
• All chassis slots are filled. Blank panels and covers are installed in all empty slots.
WARNING: Leakage Current (High Touch Current): The AC power cords are secured to the power inlet using
the provided bracket. The power cord plugs must be secured to the building outlets by the chassis installer or
a qualified electrician.
