  1. Optionally, attach the power cord bracket and nylon cable clamp tie:
    1. Using the two nuts shipped with the bracket, attach the bracket to the chassis tab to the right of power supply 2.
    2. Push the arrowhead end of the cable clamp tie into the hole in the bracket to anchor the tie.
  2. Connect the two AC power cables to power supplies 1 and 2. These two power supplies combine to create a redundant power supply.

    Note

    The unit comes with only one power supply. Users have the option to purchase an optional power supply and a cable. Using the optional power supply, the user can create a redundant power supply.
  3. Optionally, wrap the cable clamp tie around the power cables and fasten the end of the tie under the hook at the head of the tie.
  4. Plug the other end of the cables into grounded electrical outlets or to separate power sources such as an uninterrupted power supply (UPS) or a power distribution unit (PDU).
