Power in connection

The ServSwitch CX unit is supplied with a single 30W power adapter which is sufficient to supply any configuration of the unit. All ServSwitch CX units have two power input sockets to allow auxiliary (redundant) power adapters to be connected. There are no on/off switches, so operation begins as soon as a power adapter is connected.

Note: ServSwitch CX units require a heavy duty power adapter at either or both power input connectors. Use only the adapter supplied with the unit or available separately from Black Box. Do not use the standard 10W adapters that are supplied with other Black Box products, such as the ServSwitch CX Remote module.

To connect the power supply

1Attach the output lead from the power adapter to the MAIN PWR IN socket on the rear panel of the ServSwitch CX.

socket), if a backup supply is required.

 

Note: Both the ServSwitch CX and its power supply generate heat when in

 

operation and will become warm to the touch. Do not enclose them or place

them locations where air cannot circulate to cool the equipment. Do not operate

the equipment in ambient temperatures exceeding 40 degrees Centigrade. Do

not place the products in contact with equipment whose surface temperature

exceeds 40 degrees Centigrade. Using two power supplies will ensure that each

power supply takes less load and run at a correspondingly cooler temperature.
