Connecting Power
To connect power to the BlackDiamond X8 chassis:
1 At the back of the chassis, connect an AC power cord to the power input socket that corresponds to
each installed power supply.
Power input sockets are numbered from 1A to 8B from left to right, as you face the chassis back
(Figure 26).
