Connecting AC Power to a QFX3008-I Interconnect Device with Three-Phase Wye Wiring Trays
Before you begin to connect power to the device:
Ensure that you understand how to prevent ESD damage. See Prevention of Electrostatic Discharge Damage.
Ensure that a licensed electrician has prepared the power cords. See Preparing Delta and Wye Three-Phase Power Cords.
Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available to connect power to the device:
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap
Phillips (+) screwdriver, number 1
Slotted (–) screwdriver, 1/4 inch, with a torque range between 23 in-lb (2.6 Nm) and 25 in-lb (2.8 Nm)
CAUTION:You must use an appropriate torque-controlled tool to tighten the screws on the terminal block. Applying excessive torque damages the terminal block and the wiring tray. The absolute maximum torque that may be applied to this screw is 50 in-lb (5.6 Nm).
A QFX3008-I Interconnect device is configured with six AC power supplies and two wiring trays.
Mixing different types of wiring trays in the same chassis is not a supported configuration.
To meet safety and electromagnetic interference (EMI) requirements and to ensure proper operation, the QFX3008-I Interconnect device must be adequately grounded before it is connected to power.
For installations that require a separate grounding conductor to the chassis, use the protective earthing terminal on the QFX3008-I Interconnect device to connect to earth ground. For instructions on connecting a QFX3008-I Interconnect device to ground using a separate grounding conductor, see Connecting Earth Ground to a QFX3008-I Interconnect Device.
A QFX3008-I Interconnect device receives additional grounding when you plug the power supply in the device into a grounded AC power outlet by using the AC power cord appropriate for your geographical location. See AC Power Cord Specifications for a QFX3008-I Interconnect Device with Three-Phase Wye Wiring Trays.
Each wiring tray must be connected to a dedicated AC power source outlet.
Ensure that the power cords do not block access to device components or drape where people can trip on them.
