Planning for power

Plan to attach each of the two power supplies in an enclosure to separate main power supply lines.

Attention: The power cord is the main power disconnect. Ensure that the socket outlets are located near the equipment and are easily accessible.

  • 1 Node canisters
  • 2 Power supply units: power supply 1 (left), power supply 2 (right)

Plan to connect the power cords of the auto-sensing power supplies on the left side of the rack (when viewed from the rear) to one power source that provides power in the range 100V - 240V ac. Plan to connect the power cords of the power supplies on the right side of the rack to another 100V - 240V ac power source. Using two power sources provides power redundancy.

The power supplies in a control enclosure are not interchangeable with the power supplies in an expansion enclosure.
