Redundant Power Configurations

The chassis support multiple redundant load sharing power configurations.
The power is connected to the back of the chassis with connectors labeled
“Pwr1” and “Pwr2”. “Pwr1” is the primary power connection and “Pwr2” is the
backup. There are four primary power options and two backup options. The
combinations of primary and backup power include low voltage barrel
connector, low voltage terminal, high voltage terminal and PoE from the UTP
ports. The manner in which the power is connected will depend on the model
selected. Refer to Table 1 for the specific power input options supported on
each chassis model.

3.1.1

AC/DC Power Option (Low Voltage Barrel)

To power the chassis using AC/DC adapter, connect the AC/DC adapter to the
AC outlet. Then connect the barrel plug at the end of the wire on the AC/DC
adapter to the 2.5mm DC barrel connector on the chassis. A wire saddle is
located below each barrel connector to secure the power line and prevent
accidental removal. Repeat the process if the chassis was ordered with the
additional low voltage barrel option.

Note: The chassis must be used with an Omnitron supplied AC/DC
Power Adapter.

Confirm that the unit has powered up properly by checking the power status
LED located on the front of the chassis. See Section 3.2 for the details
concerning the operation and definition of the front panel LEDs.
