Hardware Overview Introduction
2.4.6 DC Power Supply
The RS DC power supply delivers 3.3, 5, and 12 volts DC to the RS’s Control Module(s), fan modules, and other
components. A single DC power supply provides enough current to operate a fully configured chassis.
Figure 2-6 shows the front view of an RS 8000 DC power supply.
Figure 2-6 Front view of an RS 8000 DC power supply
The RS 8000 DC power supply has a three-terminal wiring block on the front panel, consisting of a positive (+)
terminal, negative (-) terminal and a safety ground. The DC supply is designed to be powered by a 48 Volt DC source.
Use 12-gauge to 14-gauge wire to connect the 48-Volt source to the RS 8600 DC power supply. Use 12-gauge to
14-gauge wire for the safety ground.
Figure 2-7 shows the front view of an RS 8600 DC Power Supply.
