Chapter 6: Initial Power-up, Rev 1.1
6.2 Power On
Once the unit has been mounted for operation, it is necessary to power on the VDR-
100G3 system. The VDR is designed for continuous operation and once connected to
ship’s power should remain on during the remainder of the installation process. This
procedure will also serve as a functional test of the unit.
The Power Control Center will switch to the backup battery for power in the event of a
power interruption. If a power interruption lasts more than 2 hours, the VDR-100G3 will
shut down to preserve battery life and to ensure any critical data are not overwritten. If
necessary, during a VDR installation, a shut down can be initiated from the Windows XP
desktop prior to turning off the DMM.
The following steps provide a procedure for powering on the VDR-100G3:
1. Remove the cover of the DPU.
2. Ensure all circuit breakers and switches are off. (Refer to Figure 4.2:
Power Control Centre for illustration of cables and switches.)
3. Close the 12A battery circuit breaker.
4. Apply ship’s power to the VDR-100G3.
5. Close the remaining circuit breakers one at a time to ensure that each
applicable component is receiving power.
6. Connect either the required PC peripherals (mouse, keyboard,
monitor.) or a client PC via an Ethernet connection to establish
remote desktop connection to the DMM (see Section 6.3: Connecting
to the DPU for more information on establishing a remote desktop
connection with the DMM.)
NOTE: PC peripherals do not establish remote desktop connections.
