Chapter 2 Preparing for Installation
Site Requirement Guidelines
You must terminate DC power cables using cable lugs at the power shelf end. 
Ensure the lugs are dual-hole and that they are able to fit over M6 terminal studs 
at 0.625-inch (15.88-mm) centers (for example, Panduit Part Number 
LCD8-14A-L or equivalent).

DC Power Cable Lug
shows a source DC power distribution scheme for a DC-input power
shelf.
It shows two power cables attached to the DC-input power lugs for power shelf 
bay B1 (far right bay of the DC-input power shelf when looking at the back panel).
The color coding of the source DC power cable leads depends on the color coding 
of the site DC power source. Typically, green or green and yellow indicate that the 
cable is a ground cable. Because there is no color code standard for the source DC 
wiring, be sure that the power cables are connected to the DC-input power shelf 
terminal studs using the proper positive (+) and negative (–) polarity. 
•
In some cases, the source DC cable leads might have a positive (+) or a 
negative (–) label. This is a relatively safe indication of the polarity, but you 
must verify the polarity by measuring the voltage between the DC cable leads. 
When making the measurement, the positive (+) lead and the negative (–) lead 
must always match the (+) and (–) labels on the power shelf.
•
A green (or green and yellow) cable typically indicate that it is a ground 
cable.
