Product Safety Warnings.
Remove the two nuts and star washers from the
ground studs on the back of the firewall and then remove the two-hole
ground lug.
Crimp a 6AWG ground cable (not included) to the two-hole
6AWG ground lug and then attach the ground lug to the ground studs
on the firewall. Replace the star washers and nuts and torque to
25 in-lbs. Connect the other end of the cable to earth ground.
Connect the AC power cord to power input 1 (PWR 1) and
connect a second power cord to power input 2 (PWR 2).
Secure the power cords to the power supplies using the
Velcro straps.
Connect the other end of the power cords to an AC power
source. After the first power supply is connected, the firewall
powers on and the power LED on the power supply and the PWR LED on
the front of the firewall turns green.
Connect the second power cord through a different circuit
breaker to provide power redundancy and to allow for electrical
circuit maintenance.
