Dell Force10 S25N-S50N Installing S50N and S50V Systems - Page 34

Note that one of the three leads on the plug has a trapezoidal key , which goes in the receptacle that is toward the center of the PSU. The key is not strong enough to resist being inserted in the opposite receptacle, and it is difficult to see, so you must take care to insert it correctly. To help you orient it, note that the top side of the plug has a knurled pattern. Figure 5-9.

Ideally, you should connect that cable to an AC source separate from the AC connection made directly to the S50V. Installing the Backup DC Power Supply for the S50N The Redundant Power Supply Unit (PSU) for the S50N is a 180W AC/DC rectifier. It is less powerful than the S50V PSU, because it does not need to support PoE. This 180W PSU is the same as used for the S50, so it can be housed in the External Power Shelf supplied for the S50. It does not have screw holes for rack ears, so it cannot be hung in a rack by itself. CAUTION: Use only the power cords supplied with the power supply. Do not supply power to the system until the power supply and modules have been installed.
