Connecting Power to the GigaVUE-HC3

The GigaVUE-HC3 supports AC and DC power in a 1+1 or 2+2 redundant configuration. In all cases, only a single power supply module (PSM) is required to operate the node. However, connecting PSMs in a 1+1 or 2+2 configuration provides redundant power.

The procedure for connecting power to the GigaVUE-HC3 is similar to the other GigaVUE H Series nodes:

GigaVUE Chassis Type	Number of PSMs
GigaVUE-HC3	2 (1+1)
	4 (2+2)

1.

Plug an approved C13 power cable into each of the PSMs at the rear of the GigaVUE-HC3 chassis.

Note:  For information on the optional DC power supply modules, refer to Figure 1 DC Power Supply Module.

2.

Plug the other end of the power cables into a power source that can supply adequate power. For optimal power protection, plug the PSMs into separate circuits.When connecting to the external AC power source, ensure that a Surge Protective Device (SPD) is installed at the AC power inlet.

For information on GigaVUE-HC3 power requirements, refer to AC- and DC-Powered GigaVUE-HC3.

3.

Power is turned on when the node is plugged in, and turned off when the node is unplugged.To remove a PSM, refer to Removing a Power Supply Module.
