Connecting an MX960 DC Power Supply Cable
WARNING: Before performing DC power procedures, ensure that power is removed
from the DC circuit. To ensure that all power is off, locate the circuit breaker on the
panel board that services the DC circuit, switch the circuit breaker to the off position,
and tape the switch handle of the circuit breaker in the off position.
To connect a power cable for a DC power supply:
1. Locate a replacement power cable that meets the specifications defined in “Electrical Specifications
for the MX960 DC Power Supply” on page 225.
2. Verify that a licensed electrician has attached a cable lug to the replacement power cable.
3. Verify that the INPUT OK LED is off.
4. Secure the power cable lug to the terminal studs, first with the split washer, then with the nut. Apply
between 23 lb-in. (2.6 Nm) and 25 lb-in. (2.8 Nm) of torque to each nut (see Figure 119 on page 355).
Do not overtighten the nut. (Use a 7/16-in. (11 mm) torque-controlled driver or socket wrench.)
CAUTION: Ensure that each power cable lug seats flush against the surface of
the terminal block as you are tightening the nuts. Ensure that each nut is properly
threaded onto the terminal stud. The nut should be able to spin freely with your
fingers when it is first placed onto the terminal stud. Applying installation torque
to the nut when improperly threaded may result in damage to the terminal stud.
CAUTION: The maximum torque rating of the terminal studs on the DC power
supply is 58 lb-in. (6.5 Nm). The terminal studs may be damaged if excessive
torque is applied. Use only a torque-controlled driver or socket wrench to tighten
nuts on the DC power supply terminal studs.
