fails. Refer to the RPSU 6000’s Installation Guide for more 
information or to Appendix C in this manual for part number 
information.

The power switch turns the IntraSwitch on or off. See 
“Connecting Power” on page 2-4 for instructions on powering 
on the IntraSwitch.
Power Supply Connector
The 5-volt power supply connector provides the IntraSwitch’s 
power connection. See Appendix C, “Technical Specifications” 
for more information.
