5.4 Power-On and Checkout
The desktop and rack-mounted versions of the DataTalker differ in how power is applied. The
desktop version has a power switch that you must turn on. The rack version has no power
switch; you apply power by inserting it into a powered-up rack. It is always on as long as the rack
is powered up.
Table 5-3. Power-On and Checkout Procedure
Step Procedure

2 Desktop version: Apply power (press the power switch on the back of the unit to I [on]).
Rack version: Plug the RackTalker rack into an AC outlet, if it is not already powered up.
