Dual PSU (non-redundant) Assembly

Setup Procedure

Ensure that no cards are plugged in. Remove the "LINK FOR PSU3" jumper on the

monitor board.

Check that there are no short circuits between any of the diode terminals and 0v or

chassis. Check that all the power wiring to the backplanes and the disk-drive is

correct.

Disconnect the current-share link between the PSUs. Apply power to PSU1 and set the

5v rail to 5.1v and the 12v rail to 12.4v, when measured at the PSU terminals.

Remove power from PSU1 and repeat step 3 with PSU2. Remove power when

finished.

N.B. One PSU may not support the full load depending upon how many cards are fitted, so plug in

up to 6 ESPs and the other cards.

Connect the current-share link between the PSUs and apply power to PSU1. Set the

voltages to 5.05v * 50mv and 12v * 100mv, when measured at the backplane.

Remove power from PSU1 and repeat step 6 with PSU2. Remove power when

finished.

Plug in all cards and apply power to both PSUs. Check that the voltages are as set in

step 6. If adjustment is required then ensure that both pots. for that rail are trimmed

by the same amount in order to maintain the load sharing (N.B. the voltage reading

will not be valid until the second pot. has been trimmed, so make only small, equal

adjustments).

PSU Monitoring

Check that the PSU1 and PSU2 green LEDs on the monitor board are lit and that the

front panel LED is on. Also, check that pins1&6(PSU1) and2&7(PSU2) of the

9-way, D-type connector are short circuit.

Check each voltage monitor wire from the two PSUs by removing each in turn from

the monitor board and checking that the corresponding LED for that PSU extinguishes

and the front panel LED flashes roughly twice a second. Also, check that the

corresponding pins of the D-type connector are open circuit.
