CAUTION: Before you connect power to the switch, a licensed electrician must attach
a cable lug to the grounding and power cables that you supply. A cable with an incorrectly
attached lug can damage the switch (for example, by causing a short circuit).
CAUTION: Mixing different types of power supplies in the same chassis is not a supported
configuration.
NOTE: A 2000 W DC power supply requires a dedicated 60 A circuit breaker for each
input DC feed.
A 3000 W DC power supply requires a dedicated 100 A circuit breaker for each input
DC feed.
NOTE: Each power supply input feed must be connected to a dedicated DC power
source outlet.
Before you begin connecting DC power to an EX8200 switch:
•
Ensure that you have taken the necessary precautions to prevent ESD damage (see
“Prevention of Electrostatic Discharge Damage on EX Series Switches” on page 292).
•
Ensure that you have connected the switch chassis to earth ground.
CAUTION: To meet safety and electromagnetic interference (EMI) requirements and
to ensure proper operation, you must connect EX8200 switches to earth ground before
you connect them to power. For installations that require a separate grounding conductor
to the chassis, use the protective earthing terminal on the switch chassis to connect to
earth ground. For instructions on connecting an EX8200 switch to ground using a
separate grounding conductor, see “Connecting Earth Ground to an EX Series Switch”
on page 167.
•
Install the power supply in the chassis. See “Installing a DC Power Supply in an EX8200
Switch” on page 152.
Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available to connect DC power to an
EX8200 switch:
•
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap
•
DC power source cables (not provided) with the cable lugs (provided) attached.
The provided cable lugs in an EX8208 switch are sized for 6 AWG (13.3 mm
2
) power
source cables. The DC power source cables that you provide must be 6 AWG (13.3
mm
2
), minimum 60°C wire. We recommend that you install heat-shrink tubing insulation
around the power cables and lugs.
