19000 and 29000

19000 and 29000 Appliances have a redundant power supply unit (PSU) and support DC PSUs.

If necessary, you can replace a PSU. Note that all PSUs on an appliance must be of the same type (DC).

Warning:

  • To protect yourself and the appliance PSUs from electrostatic discharge, make sure that you are electromagnetically grounded before you install, uninstall, or replace a PSU.

  • We recommend that you use an ESD grounding wrist strap. Connect the grounding plug on the wrist strap to the appliance grounding point.

Warning - All work related to the DC power must be performed by trained and certified service personnel only.

Important - This product is intended to be supplied by an UL Listed DC power source, rated -36 — -72V DC, 40A minimum, Tmax=40°C, and the altitude of operation 5000m.

The cable requirements: 8 AWG, 40A minimum, 72V minimum.
