If an AccessPath system is equipped for DC power, the power is supplied to the various shelves through two DC fuse panels (see Figure 1), which are mounted above the Failsafe/Console Management Shelf at the top of the AccessPath rack. The DC fuse panels may be supplied with the AccessPath system, but may not be mounted in it.
The DC fuse panels allow you to connect the AccessPath system to a DC power source, using either single or multiple input feeds. Each side of an AccessPath system DC fuse panel can accept 60 to 80 amps of continuous input power at -48 volts DC. Separate circuit breakers are provided for each of the two input feeds. If multiple feeds are used, a common ground is required for safe operation.

The DC fuse panels distribute DC power from the primary input feed(s) to all internal power components in the AccessPath system. Individual GMT-style protection fuses are provided at the power supply level for component protection on each of the internal circuits.
DC fuse panel installation is described in detail in the sections that follow:

To power on the system, perform the following steps:
Step 1 Ensure that the main power circuit breakers are OFF at the building feed.
![]() | Warning Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity. |
![]() | Warning Before performing any of the following procedures, ensure that power is removed from the DC circuit. To ensure that all power is OFF, locate the circuit breaker on the panel board that services the DC circuit, switch the circuit breaker to the OFF position, and tape the switch handle of the circuit breaker in the OFF position. |
Step 2 Ensure that the two main circuit breakers on each of the DC fuse panels are in the OFF position. The switches point away from each other in the OFF position.
![]() | Caution There are two sets of independent input power connectors and two separate circuit breakers. Each of the two circuit breakers on a DC fuse panel is associated with only one side of the panel and one group of 10 DC output connections. |
Step 3 Ensure that the main power feeds to the DC fuse panels are the correct polarity.
Step 4 Ensure that all connections from the DC fuse panels to the DC power supplies are the correct polarity.
Step 5 Turn on all DC power supplies at the component level.
Step 6 Go to the main circuit breakers off the input feeds and place the circuit breakers in the ON position.
![]() | Warning After wiring the DC fuse panel, remove the tape from the circuit breaker switch handle and reinstate power by moving the handle of the circuit breaker to the ON position. |
![]() | Caution Power is now present on the AccessPath rack. Hazardous conditions exist; use caution. |
Step 7 Turn on both of the DC fuse panel Main Power A circuit breakers.
Step 8 Turn on the DC fuse panel Main Power B circuit breaker on panel 1 only.
Step 9 Check the power supples and systems for power-on LED indications and airflow. Make this visual check inside the cabinet on each power supply and each system.
If a power system failure occurs, one or more DC fuses will open. In case of multiple failures, one or both of the main circuit breakers will trip, shutting down several units in the AccessPath system if not the entire system.
Step 1 Check the individual power supplies to determine if one (or more) has no LED power on indication or no airflow. If a fault condition occurs, remove all power by first turning off the four DC fuse panel circuit breakers, then turning off the main power circuit breakers.
When equipment installed in an AccessPath system rack fails because of overheating or power loss, try operating the equipment by itself. Power OFF other equipment in the rack (and in adjacent racks) to allow the failing unit maximum cooling air and clean power.
Step 2 Replace any defective fuse with a fuse of the correct rating.
![]() | Warning Never change fuses with live power present. Lethal currents are present on and in the DC fuse panels. |
![]() | Caution Never use a larger fuse than what is specified for the individual locations. Refer to Table 1 or Table 2 for the correct fuse size for each location. |
Step 3 Follow the power-on sequence of operations. See "Powering On the System," page 14.
Step 4 Verify that the proper LED power on indications are present and that airflow has resumed.
![]() | Caution If there is still no power applied to the component in question (that is, if no LED power on indication is present and/or there is no airflow), a qualified service person should be called to replace the power supply component. |
