WARNING: An external disconnect shall be provided and shall be easily accessible. Dell Force10 recommends that you use a 150A circuit breaker. Use the following steps to install a DC PEM: Step Task 1 Make sure that the remote power source (the circuit breaker panel) is in the OFF position. 2 Make sure that the over-current protector (located on the PEM front panel) is in the OFF position. 3 Loosen the retaining screw and remove the PEM safety cover. 4 Slide the PEM into the 0 or 1 slot: a Lift up and hold the PEM interlock lever and carefully push the unit inward to fully seat it to the backplane.

Do not exceed 5 inch/lbs torque. 5 Connect the -48 VDC and Return cables from each PEM to the remote power sources (circuit breakers A and B). a Check that the remote power sources (for example, circuit breakers) are in the OFF position. b Locate the appropriate studs on the PEM front panel. c The two left most studs on the PEM are the -48 VDC (-) connection. The cable attached to these studs is typically black. The two middle studs are the return (+) connection. The cable attached to these studs is typically red. d Install the -48 VDC and Return cables on the studs. The cables should be of the size and color to comply with local electrical codes. NOTE: Power cables must be terminated only with a UL-listed 2hole lug with 1/4-inch studs with 3/4-inch spacing. e Replace the washers and nuts on the studs. f With a 7/16-inch box or socket wrench, tighten the nuts. 6 Route the terminated cables down and toward the rack rail. 7 Replace the safety cover and tighten the captive screw with a #2 Phillips screwdriver.

Installing the Hardware
19
WARNING: An external disconnect shall be provided and shall be easily
accessible. Dell Force10 recommends that you use a 150A circuit breaker.
Use the following steps to install a DC PEM:
Step
Task
1
Make sure that the remote power source (the circuit breaker panel) is in
the OFF position.
2
Make sure that the over-current protector (located on the PEM front
panel) is in the OFF position.
3
Loosen the retaining screw and remove the PEM safety cover.
4
Slide the PEM into the 0 or 1 slot:
a
Lift up and hold the PEM interlock lever and carefully push the unit
inward to fully seat it to the backplane. When the PEM is fully
inserted, the interlock lever will drop to hold the PEM in position.
b
Tighten the two locking screws with a #2 Phillips screw driver to
secure the PEM. Do not exceed 5 inch/lbs torque.
5
Connect the -48 VDC and Return cables from each PEM to the remote
power sources (circuit breakers A and B).
a
Check that the remote power sources (for example, circuit breakers)
are in the OFF position.
b
Locate the appropriate studs on the PEM front panel.
c
The two left most studs on the PEM are the -48 VDC (-) connection.
The cable attached to these studs is typically black. The two middle
studs are the return (+) connection. The cable attached to these studs
is typically red.
d
Install the -48 VDC and Return cables on the studs. The cables
should be of the size and color to comply with local electrical codes.
NOTE:
Power cables must be terminated only with a UL-listed 2-
hole lug with 1/4-inch studs with 3/4-inch spacing.
e
Replace the washers and nuts on the studs.
f
With a 7/16-inch box or socket wrench, tighten the nuts.
6
Route the terminated cables down and toward the rack rail.
7
Replace the safety cover and tighten the captive screw with a #2 Phillips
screwdriver.
