Connecting a 300 W DC Power Supply to the Source Voltage
Two 300 W DC power supplies are available: model 10933 (front-to-back airflow) and model 10944
(back-to-front airflow). Both can connect to either a +24 V or a –48 V power source.
The connection instructions, starting at step 4 on page 232, are dierent depending upon whether you
are connecting to a +24 V power source or a –48 V power source.
The DC power connection at your facility must be made by a qualified electrician, following these
