Connect the Power to the Array

Before you perform this task, you must have already installed the Nimble array in a rack or enclosure and the array must be connected to a network.

  1. Plug the power cables into both power supplies.
    IMPORTANT: All arrays ship with retention clips pre-installed into each power supply unit. It is strongly recommended to connect these clips around the power cords as you cable the array.
    1. With the clip open, insert the power cords into both power supplies.
    2. Press down on the bottom lever to adjust the location of the clip.
    3. Slide the clip up to the base of the plug.
  2. Secure and test the connection.
    1. Press down on the side lever to adjust the sizing.
    2. Close the clip to fit snugly around the base of each cord. Tug gently on each cord to ensure it is secure.
  3. Plug the other end of the power cables into the power circuit.
    If you want to minimize the risk of both power supplies losing power simultaneously, connect each power cable to a different circuit.
    If the array does not come online automatically, press the power button on the front of the chassis.
