2. Place the power transformer unit on the flanges at
the bottom of the carrier. Slide the power
transformer unit into place against the rear rail of
the enclosure, guiding the transformer output
wires through the opening in the backplane.
NOTE
The power transformer unit
output wires are terminated with
plastic connectors. The power
transformer unit must be installed
so that the output wires protrude
through the backplane at the rear
of the carrier.

4. Plug the power transformer output connectors into
the P19 and P20 connectors on the backplane and
latch them.
CAUTION
The power cord contains a
3-wire grounding-type plug
which has a grounding pin.
This is a safety feature.
Grounding of the carrier is
vital to ensure safe operation.
Do not defeat the purpose of
the grounding plug by
modifying it or by using an
adapter.
Prior to installation, use an
outlet tester or voltmeter to
check the ac receptacle for
earth ground. If the power
source does not provide a
ground connection, consult an
electrician to determine
another method of grounding
the carrier before proceeding
with the installation.

the convenience outlets inside the cabinet, or to an
external ac outlet.
7. If you are not installing a fan module or SDCP,
return to the front of the carrier and replace the
cover plate. Tighten the four captive screws.
