NOTE:
The ac power source should be a non-switched outlet to prevent
accidentally turning off power.
3. Make sure the PWR A LED on the front panel is ON (green).
Using AC Power with DC Power Backup
Procedure
To supply both ac and dc power to the 8600 chassis for power redundancy:
Make sure that the dc power source wires are not powered (i.e., the
circuit breakers are open).
The ends of the dc power source wires (14 AWG – 18 AWG solid or
stranded wire) must be stripped of insulation. If they are not stripped of
insulation, strip the tip of each wire (about 1/3-inch in length) before
plugging the wire into the appropriate connector on the – 48V input
terminal block.
