Connecting or verifying power cables
Before you begin
Ensure that all the switches for both the SPE SPS and the DAE 0 SPS are turned OFF:
locations 1, 2, 3, and 4 in Figure 34 on page 48.
Figure 34 Power up preparation
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 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.
