To connect DC power to the platform
1. After you are sure the power is off, and the ground lug is connected
to the ground terminal, you can connect the DC power source.
2. After you connect the ground lug, connect the negative DC power
lead to the -48V terminal on the terminal block plug.
The terminals are clearly labeled. You should strip at least 0.50 in.
(12.7 mm) of insulation off of each wire where you connect the wire
to the terminal block plug.
3. Connect the positive DC wire to the RTN terminal on the terminal
block plug.
You should strip at least 0.50 in. (12.7 mm) of insulation off of each
wire where you connect the wire to the terminal block plug.
4. Wire each supply in this manner until you have wired each terminal
block plug for two power supplies.
5. Plug each terminal block plug into the plug on the back of the
chassis.
Use the screws supplied to attach each wiring block to the plug in
the chassis. Use 16 to 18 inch-pounds (1.8 to 2.0 newton metres) of
torque on these screws.
6. Turn on the DC power source.
The system begins to boot up.
