Connecting Power

The RX5000 supports dual redundant AC and/or DC power supplies that can be installed in any combination. The
use of two power modules is recommended to provide redundancy and load balancing.
The RX5000 is equipped with a screw-type terminal block, which provides power to both power supplies. The
terminal block is installed using Philips screws and compression plates, allowing either bare wire connections or
crimped terminal lugs. Use #6 size ring lugs for secure, reliable connections under severe shock or vibration.
IMPORTANT!
• In an AC/DC power arrangement, the placement of the AC and DC power supplies is not slot-
dependent. Either power module slot can be used for AC or DC power.
• For maximum redundancy in a dual power supply configuration, use two independent power
sources.
• Use only #16 gage copper wiring when connecting terminal blocks.
• For 125/230 VAC rated equipment, an appropriately rated AC circuit breaker must be installed.
