Chapter 4 Connecting Your Fibre Channel Array 4-7
4.3 Connecting the Chassis to AC Power
Outlets
When you connect the AC power cords, install the provided two cord locks at the
same time. The AC cord locks are used to securely fasten the AC cable connectors.
Caution – If the array is connected to AC power sources not within the designated
90–135, 180–264 VAC range, the unit might be damaged.
Note – To ensure power redundancy, be sure to connect the two power supply
modules to two separate circuits (for example, one commercial circuit and one UPS).
To connect the AC power cords, perform the following procedure:
1. Use a screwdriver to remove the screw and cylindrical standoff from one of the
two provided cord locks.
Set them aside for reassembly later.
2. Slide the cord lock over the AC power connector.
3. Hold the cylindrical standoff between the two screw-holes on the flanges of the
cord lock.
4. Insert the screw into the first screw-hole, through the standoff, and then into the
threaded screw-hole on the other flange.
5. Tighten the screw with a screwdriver
until the flanges bottom out on the
cylindrical standoff.
6. Push the power cord into the power supply receptacle until it is firmly seated.
7. Push the green ejector handle forward until it is seated against the power supply.
8. Turn the thumbscrew of the green ejector handle clockwise until it is finger-tight
to secure the handle and the cord lock.
9. Repeat Step 1 through Step 8 for the second cord lock and second power cable.
