II. Recommended power socket
You are recommended to use a 3-core monophase power socket with neutral point.
The neutral point of the socket must be grounded reliably. Normally, the neutral point of
the power supply system in a building was buried in the ground during the construction
and cabling. You must make sure that the power supply for the building is well
grounded before connecting the AC power cord.
III. Connecting an AC-input PSU
Take the SecPath V1000-A for example.
Step 1: Make sure that the PGND on the chassis is securely connected to the earth
ground.
Step 2: Make sure that the power switches are placed in the OFF position. Connect one
end of an AC power cord provided with the device to the socket of AC-input PWR0 on
the left-rear of the chassis and the other end to the AC mains supply.
Step 3: Repeat Step 2 to connect the PWR1. (Skip this step if you use only one PSU.)
Step 4: Place the PWR0 switch into the ON position.
Step 5: Place the PWR1 switch to the ON position. (Skip this step if you use only
PWR0.)
Step 6: Check that the PWR0 and PWR1 LEDs on the front panel light. ON means the
power connections are correct.
Step 7: Check that the SYS LED on the front panel is ON. ON means the hardware
system is working well.
3.8 Verifying Installation
Each time you power up the device during the installation, verify that:
z
The device has adequate clearance around it for heat dissipation and the
table/rack is stable enough.
z
The proper power supply is used.
z
The grounding wire is correctly connected.
z
The device is correctly connected to other devices, such as a console terminal.
Note:
Installation verification is extremely important, because the operations of the security
gateway depend on its stability, grounding, and power supply.
