Site Wiring  
The cabinet’s AC power distribution boxes use common industrial wiring. Consider the  
following information when preparing the cabinet installation site:  
AC power source – The AC power source must provide the correct voltage, current, and  
frequency specified on the manufacturer’s nameplate.  
•
Earth ground – You must have an earth grounding conductor to the cabinet’s power  
receptacles.  
•
Circuit overloading – Ensure the power circuits and associated circuit breakers provide  
•
sufficient power and overload protection. To prevent possible damage to the AC power  
distribution boxes and other components in the cabinet, use an external, independent  
power source which is isolated from large switching loads (such as air conditioning  
motors, elevator motors, and factory loads).  
Module power distribution – There are two accessory outlets inside the cabinet for  
module power distribution. All units attached to these outlets must be auto-ranging  
between 180 through 257 VAC, 50-60 Hz.  
•
Power interruptions – The cabinet and its modules will withstand the following  
applied voltage interruptions (with or without an integrated UPS):  
•
Input transient – 50% of nominal voltage  
•
Duration – one half cycle  
•
Maximum frequency – once every ten seconds  
•
Power failures – After a total power failure, the modules within the cabinet will  
automatically perform a power-up recovery without operator intervention after power  
is restored.

Power Requirements  
This section provides information regarding command module AC power requirements,  
power cord routing instructions, and site wiring conditions.  
The AC power source must provide the correct voltage, current, and frequency specified  
on the manufacturer’s nameplate. Internal AC power units for rackmount cabinets must  
be able to handle the power requirements for these units (Table 2-7).

Power Cord Routing  
All modules are shipped with two AC power cords that are appropriate for use in a typical  
outlet in the destination country. Each power cord connects one of the power supplies in a  
module to an independent, external power source, such as a wall receptacle or  
uninterruptible power supply (UPS). If you have a rackmount cabinet with internal power  
cabling, such as a ladder cable, you do not need these power cords.  
A rackmount cabinet can have up to two AC power distribution boxes with separate power  
cords (Figure 2-3). To ensure redundancy, each power cord must connect to an  
independent, external power source. Each AC power distribution box has a ladder cable  
that runs up the inside of the cabinet and connects to one of the power supplies in each  
module.  
Figure 2-4 on page 2-10 shows the power cords and receptacles for domestic (inside USA)  
and international use (outside USA).

Site Wiring  
The command module uses wide-ranging, redundant power supplies that automatically  
accommodate voltages to the AC power source. The power supplies operate at a range  
between 90 VAC and 264 VAC, and at a minimum frequency of 50 Hz and a maximum  
frequency of 60 Hz. The power supplies meet standard voltage requirements for both  
domestic (inside USA) and international (outside USA) operation. They use standard  
industrial wiring with line-to-neutral or line-to-line power connections.  
Consider the following information when preparing the command module installation  
site:  
Earth ground – The unit must be properly grounded, including an earth ground  
conductor on the AC power source.  
•
Circuit overloading – Ensure the power circuits and associated circuit breakers in the  
•
cabinet and building provide sufficient power and overload protection. To prevent  
possible damage to the unit, isolate its power source from large switching loads (such as  
air conditioning motors, elevator motors, and factory loads).  
Power interruptions – The command modules will withstand the following applied  
voltage interruptions (with or without an integrated UPS):  
•
Input transient – 50% of nominal voltage  
•
Duration – one half cycle  
•
Frequency – once every 10 seconds  
•
Power failures – After a total power failure, the unit will automatically perform a  
power-up recovery sequence without operator intervention after power is restored.

Power Requirements  
This section provides information regarding drive module AC power requirements, power  
cord routing instructions, and site wiring conditions.  
The AC power source must provide the correct voltage, current, and frequency specified  
on the manufacturer’s nameplate. Internal AC power units for rackmount cabinets must  
be able to handle the power requirements for these units. Refer to Table 3-7, Table 3-8, and  
Table 3-9 on page 3-9 for more information.

Power Cord Routing  
All modules are shipped with two AC power cords that are appropriate for use in a typical  
outlet in the destination country. Each power cord connects one of the power supplies in a  
module to an independent, external power source, such as a wall receptacle or  
uninterruptible power supply (UPS). If you have a rackmount cabinet with internal power  
cabling, such as a ladder cable, you do not need these power cords.  
Typically, a rackmount cabinet has two AC power distribution boxes with separate power  
cords (Figure 3-4). To ensure redundancy, each power cord must connect to an  
independent, external power source. Each AC power distribution box has a ladder cable  
that runs up the inside of the cabinet and connects to one of the power supplies in each  
module.  
Figure 3-5 on page 3-11 shows the power cords and receptacles for domestic and  
international use.

Site Wiring  
The drive modules use wide-ranging, redundant power supplies that automatically  
accommodate voltages to the AC power source. The power supplies operate at a range  
between 90 VAC and 264 VAC, and at a minimum frequency of 50 Hz and a maximum  
frequency of 60 Hz. The power supplies meet standard voltage requirements for both  
domestic (inside USA) and international (outside USA) operation. They use standard  
industrial wiring with line-to-neutral or line-to-line power connections.  
Consider the following information when preparing the drive module installation site:  
Earth ground – The unit must be properly grounded, including an earth ground  
conductor on the AC power source.  
•
Circuit overloading – Ensure the power circuits and associated circuit breakers in the  
•
cabinet and building provide sufficient power and overload protection. To prevent  
possible damage to the unit, isolate its power source from large switching loads (such as  
air conditioning motors, elevator motors, and factory loads).  
Power interruptions – The drive modules will withstand the following applied voltage  
interruptions (with or without an integrated UPS):  
•
Input transient – 50% of nominal voltage  
•
Duration – one half cycle  
•
Frequency – once every 10 seconds  
•
Power failures – After a total power failure, the unit will automatically perform a  
power-up recovery sequence without operator intervention after power is restored.

Power Cord Routing  
All modules are shipped with two AC power cords that are appropriate for use in a typical  
outlet in the destination country. Each power cord connects one of the power supplies in a  
module to an independent, external power source, such as a wall receptacle or  
uninterruptible power supply (UPS). If you have a rackmount cabinet with internal power  
cabling, such as a ladder cable, you do not need these power cords.  
Typically, a rackmount cabinet has two AC distribution boxes with two separate power  
cords (Figure 4-4). To ensure redundancy, each power cord must connect to an  
independent, external power source. Each AC distribution box has a ladder cable that runs  
up the inside of the cabinet and connects to one of the power supplies in each unit.  
Figure 4-5 shows the power cords and receptacles for domestic (inside USA) and  
international use (outside USA).

Site Wiring  
The array modules use wide-ranging, redundant power supplies that automatically  
accommodate voltages to the AC power source. The power supplies operate at a range  
between 90 VAC and 264 VAC, and at a minimum frequency of 50 Hz and a maximum  
frequency of 60 Hz. The power supplies meet standard voltage requirements for both  
domestic (inside USA) and international (outside USA) operation. They use standard  
industrial wiring with line-to-neutral or line-to-line power connections.  
Consider the following information when preparing the array module installation site.  
Earth ground – The unit must be properly grounded, including an earth ground  
conductor on the AC power source.  
•
Circuit overloading – Ensure the power circuits and associated circuit breakers in the  
•
cabinet and building provide sufficient power and overload protection. To prevent  
possible damage to the unit, isolate its power source from large switching loads (such as  
air conditioning motors, elevator motors, and factory loads).  
Power interruptions – The array modules will withstand the following applied voltage  
interruptions (with or without an integrated UPS):  
•
Input transient – 50% of nominal voltage  
•
Duration – one half cycle  
•
Frequency – once every 10 seconds  
•
Power failures – After a total power failure, the unit will automatically perform a  
power-up recovery sequence without operator intervention once power is restored.  
•

Interface Cables and Connections  
This section provides information about array module interface cables and their  
appropriate connections.  
The E2400 10x and E2400 14x array modules support Fibre Channel connections to drive  
modules. Each module has four GBIC connectors; two on each controller. The connectors  
may be fiber optic or copper (Figure 4-6). The connector type depends on what type of  
drive interface you order and what type of cable you will be using to attach the array  
module to the drive module.
