Connecting to Power
POWER SUPPLY
The chassis ships with two power supplies. When the chassis is equipped with two power supplies, you can have the
following advanced performance.
♦ Hot Swappable –
The design of the power system is based on an idea of providing maximum flexibility and redundancy. In this way,
you may remove any of the two power supplies without turning off the system.
♦ Redundancy –
During operation, both power supplies are switched on and share the current load. In case that one of them
should fail, the other will instantaneously take 100% of the load without any loss. Similarly, if one power supply is
removed from servicing, it can be switched off and removed while the chassis continues functioning.
♦ Protection System –
The power of each converter bay comes from the two shared power supplies. Each bay is isolated from each
other under a certain protection mechanism, so that it is free from any problem that might occur to the power
supplies or faulty converter bay. This is the best solution to protect your investment in media converters.
CONNECTING TO POWER
The chassis system is equipped with one power supply.
Step 1: Connect the supplied AC power cord to the receptacle on the front panel of each power supply.
Step 2: Attach the plug into a standard AC outlet with a voltage range from 100~240Vac.
Step 3: Turn on the chassis system by flipping the ON/OFF switch beside the receptacle to ON position. The LEDs on the front
panel of the media converter chassis system will come on then.
