If the installation requires a different power cord than the one supplied with the chassis, make sure you
use a power cord displaying the mark of the safety agency that defines the regulations for power cords in
your country. The mark is your assurance that the power cord can be used safely with the chassis.

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.
