Stages (Figure 92 – DBS sub-rack power connection)
1. Connect the switch at the top of the DBS sub-rack to the external DC power source. You are
recommended to pass the power supply cable via the top of the rack.
2. Ground the DBS sub-rack.
Note: a ground strip is fixed to the backplane and ensures its grounding. The rack and subrack ground
are screwed together, thus no special grounding is required for the rack.

Earthing must be done very carefully in order to assure good operation of the DBS.
3. Make sure that the fuses are inserted in the fuse-holder. Before changing fuse, make sure that the
switch is set to OFF.
