•Power-Supply Module Installation
This section gives an overview of the AC- and DC-power-supply modules.
•Power-Supply Module Description
The 80-W AC-power-supply module is an autoranging unit that supports input voltages between 85 and 264 VAC. The DC-power-supply module has dual input feeds (A and B) and supports input voltages between -36 to -72 VDC for telecom applications and +18 to +36 VDC for industrial applications.
The AC-power-supply modules ship with a power cord to connect to an AC-power outlet. The DC-power-supply module ships with a terminal block to be wired for DC-power outlet connections.
Each power supply is cooled by internal fans. For maximum efficiency, at least two of the four fans should be operational in a warm environment. A fan failure triggers an alarm. When a fan fails, replace the power supply immediately.
You can order the generic AC-power cord (part number CAB-AC).

Step 1 Verify that power is off at the DC circuits. To ensure that power is removed from the DC circuits, locate the circuit breakers for the DC circuits, switch the circuit breakers to the OFF position, and tape the circuit-breaker switches in the OFF position.
Step 2 Insert the new power-supply module into the power-supply slot, and gently push it into the slot (see Figure 3-13). When correctly inserted, the power supply is flush with the switch rear panel.
Figure 3-13 Inserting a DC-Power-Supply Module
Step 3 Align the two captive screws with the screw holes. Use a ratcheting torque screwdriver to torque each screw to 7 in-lb.
Step 4 Set the DC-voltage selector (see Figure 3-14):
•For telecom applications (-36 to -72 VDC), set the DC-voltage selector to -48 VDC.
•For industrial applications (+18 to +36 VDC), set the DC-voltage selector to +24 VDC.
Figure 3-14 DC-Voltage Selector
Step 5 Connect the input power as described in the "Wiring the DC-Input Power Source" section.
Before you wire the DC-input power source, review the warnings in this section and this information:
Warning This product relies on the building's installation for short-circuit (overcurrent) protection. Ensure that the protective device is rated not greater than: 10 A Statement 1005 |
Warning A readily accessible two-poled disconnect device must be incorporated in the fixed wiring. Statement 1022 |
Warning Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install or replace this equipment. Statement 103 |
Step 1 To ensure that all power is OFF, locate the circuit breaker on the panel board that services the DC circuit, switch the circuit breaker to the OFF position, and tape the switch handle of the circuit breaker in the OFF position.
Step 2 Locate the terminal block plug (see Figure 3-15).
Figure 3-15 Terminal Block Plug
Step 3 Identify the positive and negative feed positions for the terminal block connection. The wiring sequence is positive to positive and negative to negative for both the A and the B feed wires.
The switch front panel shows the positive and negative positions for both the A and B feed wires. (See Figure 3-16.)

Step 9 Secure the terminal block by using the screws on the far left and right of the terminal block.
Step 10 Remove the tape from the circuit-breaker switch handle, and move the circuit-breaker handle to the ON position.
Step 11 Move the DC-power source circuit-breaker handles to the ON position.
Step 12 Confirm that both the DCA LED and the PSU 1 LEDs are green. (If you can access the switch rear panel, verify that the power-supply module PSU OK LED is green.) See Table 3-2 for a description of the power-supply module LEDs. See Table 1-4 and Table 1-6 for the status and DC-power-supply LED descriptions.
Figure 3-22 shows the front of the switch when DC-power-supply modules are installed. The DC A and DC B LEDs are green when the respective feeds are active.
Figure 3-22 DC-Power Terminal Block With Two Feeds
Note This illustration shows two sets of feeds installed. You can install one set of feeds, A or B.
See the "Power Supply Settings" section for information on how to configure the power supply settings.
Step 1 Turn off power at the DC circuits. To ensure that power is removed from the DC circuits, locate the circuit breakers for the DC circuits, switch the circuit breakers to the OFF position, and tape the circuit-breaker switches in the OFF position.
Step 2 Use a number-2 Phillips screwdriver to remove the plastic safety cover from the power-supply terminal blocks.
Step 3 Use a number-1 Phillips screwdriver to remove the DC-input power wires from the power terminals.
Step 4 Use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the two captive screws at the lower edge that secure the power-supply module to the switch chassis.
Step 5 Remove the power-supply module from the power slot by pulling on the extraction handle.
•Use the no power-supply global configuration command (the default) when installing one power-supply module. The switch does not send an alarm when the second power-supply module is missing.
•Use the power-supply dual global configuration command when installing two power-supply modules. When both are operating properly, all applicable LEDs are green, and the switch does not send an alarm. If a power-supply module is missing, the switch sends an alarm. An error message appears and the appropriate power-supply LED turns red.
•Use the power-supply dual dc-feed global configuration command when two DC-input feeds are connected to the DC-power source. When both are operating properly, all the applicable LEDs are green and the switch does not send an alarm. If only one DC-input feed is connected, and there is at least one DC-power-supply module installed, the switch sends an alarm. An error message appears and the DC-power-supply LED for the missing DC-input feed turns amber. The LED for the connected DC-input feed turns green.
•Use the no power-supply dual dc-feed global configuration command when only one DC-input feed is connected. The switch does not send an alarm when the second DC-input feed is not connected.
See the switch software configuration guide and switch command reference for more details on these settings.
