Connecting or verifying power cables
Before you begin
Ensure that all cabinet circuit breakers are in the On position, all necessary PDU switches
are switched on, and power is connected.
The power cables are conveniently color-coded. Two colors identify the different zones
(PDUs). Black power cables connect to PDU B, while gray power cables connect to PDU A.
As soon as you connect the power cables, the component starts powering up
automatically. This is normal. Refer to Figure 8 on page 28 when performing this
procedure.
