Wire the power inputs
You can use either the universal power adapter or the terminal block to power the
network switch. Alternatively, you can connect both the universal power adapter and
the terminal block to create a redundant power input.
You should use wire ranging in size of 12 to 24 AWG.
Caution! Make sure that you ground the enclosure before you install the terminal
block connector into the network switch.
1. Insert the grounding wire into the Ground port on the terminal block, and tighten
the wire clamp screws.
2. Insert the positive DC power wire into the V+ port on the terminal block connector,
and tighten the wire clamp screws.
3. Insert the negative DC power wire into the V- port on the terminal block connector,
and tighten the wire clamp screws.
4. Insert the terminal block connector into the 3-pin terminal block on the network
switch.
