Connect a Paralleling Cable

You can use two power supplies in the same I/O chassis to provide more
current by connecting them with a power-supply paralleling cable (cat. no.
1771-CT). This connection is for communcation between the two supplies.
If one supply has to shut down, it tells the second supply to turn off its
indicator. Although the adapter or in-chassis processor is disabled, the
second supply will continue trying to operate until its dc output limits are
exceeded. Because the adapter or in-chassis processor is disabled,
paralleling two supplies does not provide redundancy.

To connect the cable:
