 Step 4
Connect DAE2 Power Cords
1. Connect one end of an ac power cable to the power connector on 
each DAE2 power supply.
2. Connect the other end of each ac power cable to the nearest 
power outlet in the cabinet. For high availability, connect the 
power supplies to opposing side power strips so they do not share 
a single circuit. 
The highly available configuration example shown above supports write 
caching. It has two power strips and an SPE, and the first DAE2 is 
connected to a secondary power supply (SPS).
