1.4 Connecting power
For a typical VM600 MPS rack (ABE04x), the following versions of RPS6U rack power supply
are available:
• RPS6U power supply for use with an external AC-mains supply.
• RPS6U power supplies for use with different external DC-mains supplies.
The RPS6U rack power supply must be used with an appropriate connection panel mounted
at the rear of the VM600 rack. Several types of these associated rear panels exist
(see 1.4.2 DC-input rear panels, 1.4.3 AC-input rear panels and 1.4.4 Combined AC-input
and DC-input rear panels) in order to allow the connection of external AC-mains and/or
DC-mains power to the rack.
NOTE: For further information, refer to the VM600 RPS6U rack power supply data sheet.
As shown in Figure 1-4, one or two RPS6U power supplies can be installed in a VM600 rack
(ABE04x). When two RPS6Us are installed in a rack, the RPS6U on the right (slots 18 to 20)
is power supply 1 (PS1) and the RPS6U on the left (slots 15 to 17) is power supply 2 (PS2).
A rack can have two RPS6U power supplies installed for different reasons:
• In order to support rack power supply redundancy.
• In order to supply power to the cards (non-redundantly).
NOTE: A VM600 rack configuration with two RPS6U power supplies (330 W) operating
non-redundantly to supply power to the cards is typically only necessary for a full
rack of cards in an application where the operating environment requires RPS6U
output power derating.
The number and type of RPS6U power supplies installed in a VM600 rack, together with the
number of cards installed and the environmental conditions, helps determine the mode of
operation of the RPS6U power supplies as either redundant or non-redundant.
NOTE: For further information on RPS6U power supply configurations, including
‘redundant’ configurations, refer to the VM600 machinery protection system (MPS)
hardware manual.
To connect power to a VM600 rack:
• Determine the type of RPS6U rack power supply or supplies used by the VM600 rack:
DC-input, AC-input or both (that is, 1 x DC-input and 1 x AC-input).
See 1.4.1 Front panels.
• Connect the external mains power supply to the VM600 rack via the DC-input rear
panel(s) and/or AC-input rear panel(s), or combined AC-input and DC-input rear panel
using appropriate mains power supply leads (power cords).
See 1.4.2 DC-input rear panels, 1.4.3 AC-input rear panels and 1.4.4 Combined
AC-input and DC-input rear panels.
HAZARDOUS VOLTAGES EXIST WITHIN VM600 SYSTEM RACKS (ABE04X).
