The following procedure explains how to ground

the 

1. Locate the chassis grounding studs on the back of the chassis.

2. Attach the two hole chassis ground lug PN 300-30016 to the

   using two flat washers PN 510-00057, two split lock washers PN 510-00056, and two hex nuts PN 511-00046 as shown in the following figure.

2. Secure the other end of the grounding cable to the earth ground in the building. You can secure the grounding cable to a proper grounding point on the rack, as long as the rack is properly grounded to the earth ground in the building.

Routing the Power Cables

Sonus recommends to route the power cables so that the top power supply cables connect from above and the bottom power supply cables connect from below. This prevents one power supply cable from getting in the way of the other one in case it needs to be removed individually.

Connecting to AC Power

Connecting to AC Power Source and Powering On

The following procedure explains how to connect to the AC power and powering on the switch:

1. For each AC power supply, insert the supplied AC power cord

1. female connector to the power supply AC receptacle at the rear of the chassis (shown in the following figure).

2. Connect the supplied power cords to the local AC power source.
3. Turn on your local AC power source.

In a dual-redundant power supply configuration, the power supplies are hot-swappable meaning that it may be replaced without removing the power supply of SBC platform (provided that the redundant power supply is operational).

The following table describes the status of AC power supply.

Disconnecting from AC Power Source

The following procedure explains how to disconnect from your local AC power source:

1. Perform a graceful shutdown of the

1. Spacevars
   0 model5

   system through BMC.
2. Turn off your local AC power source.
3. Remove the power cord.

Connecting to DC Power

Connecting to DC Power Source and Powering On

The following procedure explains connecting

an

1. Remove the clear plastic terminal cover and set it aside.
2. Check the chassis ground is connected to the 2-post terminal lug next to the power supply bay. See Grounding SBC 5400 Chassis topic above.

3. Connect ground cable (green) to the screw located above the DC power terminal posts as shown in the below figure:

4. Use a

1. Voltmeter to verify that no voltage is present on DC input power cables.
2. Attach the DC return cable (black) to the Return terminal.
3. Attach the -48V cable (red) to the -48V terminal.
4. Reattach the clear plastic terminal cover.

5. If applicable, attach the other end of the supplied DC power cables to DC power source.

   Warning
   Do not apply DC power to the DC Power supply prior to hot-inserting the supply into the chassis.

6. Turn on DC power source.

In a dual-redundant power supply configuration, the power supplies are hot-swappable meaning that it may be replaced without powering down

the 

The following table describes the status of DC power supply.

Disconnecting from DC Power Source

The following procedure explains how to disconnect DC power

from 

1. Perform a graceful shutdown of

1. the 

   Spacevars
   0 model5

   system through BMC.
2. Turn off the local DC power source.
3. Remove the clear plastic terminal cover and set it aside.
4. Remove the DC power cables from the terminals, and re-attach the screws.
5. Remove the ground cable from the power supply, and re-attach the screw.

Removing the Power Supply

To remove the AC or DC power supply from the chassis, perform the following steps:

1. Push the green or black integrated lever towards your left to disengage the power supply module.
2. Pull the power supply out of the power supply slot.

Refer to the following figures for integrated lever locations:
