System Fans
The fans are used to circulate air inside the Switch and
also to dissipate heat. The sides of the system also provide heat
vents to serve the same purpose. Do not block these openings, and
leave adequate space at the rear and sides of the Switch for proper
ventilation. Be reminded that without proper heat dissipation and air
circulation, system components might overheat, which could lead to
system failure.
♦
AC Power Connector
This is a three-pronged connector that
supports the power cord. Plug in the female connector of the
provided power cord into this connector, and the male into a power
outlet. Supported input voltages range from 100 ~ 240 VAC at 50 ~
60 Hz.
♦
Power Switch
This turns the Switch on and off. To turn on the
system, press the switch to the “1” position; to turn off, press the
switch to the “0” position.
