Configure Power for the Console Server
The console server is supplied with single or dual AC or DC power supplies.
To configure AC power:
1. Make sure that the power switch on the console server is turned off.
2. Plug the power cable into the console server and into a power source.
3. Turn the console server on.
4. Turn on the power switches of the connected devices.
To configure DC power:
DC power is connected to DC-powered console servers by way of three wires: Return (RTN),
Ground (GND) and -48VDC.
WARNING: It is critical that the power source supports the DC power requirements of your console server. Make
sure that your power source is the correct type and that your DC power cables are in good condition before
proceeding. Failure to do so could result in damage to the equipment or in personal injury.
The following diagram shows the connector configuration for connecting DC power. You may use
either a flat-blade or Phillips screwdriver for this procedure.
