A three-wire, six-foot long DC wiring harness is included with each Summit X250e or X450a DC-powered switch.
The DC wiring harness must be properly connected to the DC source voltage at your facility by a qualified electrician before you attach the connector on the wiring harness to the DC power supply socket on the switch. Three-wire Cable Harness shows the wiring harness and connector. For information about the wire-to-pin connection, see Wire-to-Pin Connection Specifications and Pinouts for the DB-9 Console Connector.
Warning
The Summit DC-powered switch and rack must be connected to protective earth ground before installing any switch components. See Grounding a Summit X250e or X450a DC-Powered Switch.
A qualified, licensed electrician is required to wire the DC input power harness to your facility's DC source voltage. After the wiring harness is connected, you can remove, replace, and maintain a Summit DC-powered switch without further assistance from an electrician. However, always be sure that the DC circuit is de-energized before connecting or disconnecting the DC power connections at the rear of the switch.
Caution
The DC wiring harness must be properly connected to a DC main circuit breaker rated no greater than 20 A.
Provide proper connection and strain relief on the DC wiring harness in accordance with all local and national electrical codes.
Note
Each wire on the harness has been properly marked for proper attachment to the DC power source. Leave these labels on each lead wire for future reference.After the DC wiring harness has been connected to the DC power source, follow the instructions in Attaching the DC Wiring Harness to the DC Power Socket on the Switch.
