Summary
Follow these steps to install the Power Supply Shelf. The rest of this chapter
provides details on these steps.
1. Prepare the installation site (page 2-4). Make sure the physical
environment into which the unit will be installed is properly prepared,
including having the correct cabling ready to connect to the unit and
having an appropriate location for the unit. See page 2-3 for installation
precautions.
2. Mount the unit (page 2-4). The unit can be mounted in a 19-inch telco
rack, in an equipment cabinet, or on a horizontal surface.
3. Install the power supplies (page 2-8). The Power Supply Shelf does not
come with power supplies. You must purchase them separately and install
them.
4. Connect the Power Supply Shelf to a switch (page 2-9). Using the
supplied EPS cables, connect the unit to the devices that it will support.
5. Connect AC power to the unit (page 2-10). Once the unit is mounted,
plug it into a nearby main AC power source.
6. Verify the unit is operating correctly (page 2-11). This is a simple
process of observing that the LEDs on the unit’s front panel indicate
correct operation.
At this point, your unit is fully installed. See the rest of this chapter if you need
more detailed information on any of these installation steps.
