Connecting DC power
You can use a DC power source for the PowerConnect B-RX Series chassis. This is supported through use of a
DC-to-DC power supply. DC power must be supplied at 48 V and 30 A. The DC-to-DC supply provides the DC power to
the chassis at 12 V and 100 A.
The procedure in this section is for qualified service personnel.
Follow the steps given below to connect a DC power source.
1. Use a flat-blade screwdriver to remove the two screws holding the transparent cover over the power supply lugs
(refer to Figure 14 and Figure 15 following).
