8.2 Connections to a Power Supply
If you are using a power supply other than one from Celerity, check the pin assignments,
making sure they match those in Appendice 16.1, depending on connector type.
Celerity power supplies use a cable that has a 20 pin female header type connector at one
end and a 20 pin card edge (MFC) type at the other.
- The connectors are keyed at both ends.
- When making the connection, be sure to apply pressure directly down on the edge
connector.
NOTE: Do not rock the connector back and forth; this could cause damage to the electronic
circuits.
8.3 Warm Up
Once the power supply is securely connected to the MFC/MFM, please allow at least 60
minutes for the unit to stabilize.
