Power Supply NCS 1001 has two slots for 600W AC redundant Power Supply Units (PSU). It is sufficient to have a single PSU inserted in the chassis to support all the features and provide power to all the pluggable modules. When only one PSU is inserted in the chassis, the Power Module Redundancy Lost major alarm is raised.
Connect AC Power to NCS 1001 Caution NCS 1001 relies on the protective devices in the building installation to protect against short circuit, overcurrent, and ground faults. Ensure that the protective devices comply with local and national electrical codes. The voltage rating value for AC power ranges either between 200 V to 240 V or between 100 V to 127 V depending on the standards in various countries.

Connect DC Power to NCS 1001 Caution NCS 1001 relies on the protective devices in the building installation to protect against short circuit, overcurrent, and ground faults. Ensure that the protective devices comply with local and national electrical codes. The system accepts a nominal input voltage of -48 VDC or -60 VDC at 15A, with an operational tolerance range of -40.5 to -72 VDC.
Ensure that either the fuse is inserted or the circuit breaker is in the ON position. Verify that the Green LED on the PSU is on. Related Information For more information on NCS 1001 including specifications, see the data sheet.
