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.
Note: It is recommended not to insert different product codes PSU in the same chassis. Doing so will give an SNMP mismatch trap. For example, PSU AC-132-00DU and PSU AC-132-00H6 must not coexist in the PSU slots.
Behavior for the PSU AC-132-00H6
When the power cord is removed on PSU AC-132-00H6, PSU slots LEDs will be OFF instead of amber. The details of that particular PSU will be shown as absent.
The procedure for connecting power to the GigaVUE‑HC3 is similar to the other GigaVUE 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 1 DC Power Supply Module.
| 1 | Connecting AC Power |
| 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.
Note: To avoid disk corruption, please ensure the "reload halt" command is executed before an ungraceful power shutdown or power supply module removal.
| 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. |
| 4. | Once the power supply is turned OFF, wait for 1 minute (60 seconds) before turning the power supply ON for GigaVUE‑HC3. |
