Connecting DC Power to a CDE300
The CDE300 ships fully populated with three DC PMs installed in the PM slots on the rear of the chassis;
three DC power cables are shipped separately. The chassis has one ground stud that provides building
and PM grounding. The minimum cabling requirement for connecting DC power to a CDE300 is two
PM connects, but it is recommended that you use all three PM connects.
Figure D-5 shows the rear view
of a fully-connected CDE300 and provides the location of the studs and PMs.
