Power Connections

Before setting up the console, always check to make sure the AC voltage marked on the power supply agrees with the local supply. Always connect the console to the power supply before switching on the power supply.

Multiple power supplies can be daisy-chained to provide fail- safe protection in the event of a supply failure. When two or more supplies are used, both power supplies run all the time. In the event of supply failure, the remaining power supply(s) will take over the entire load.

NOTE: Although both of the multi-pin connectors on the back of the power supply are labeled “POWER OUT”, it is neces- sary (and acceptable) to link two power supplies together as shown in the diagram below.

ADDITIONAL NOTE: The multi-conductor cable used for power supply-to-power supply connection is different than that used for a conventional power supply-to-console connection, and must be specified when the second power supply is ordered.

Console Cooling

A dual-fan cooling configuration is included in all Vx consoles. Two fans (one at each end of the console) draw air in through the sides of the chassis (under the sidebars). Air is distributed through the chassis via a “vortex pan”, then proceeds up through the console modules, where the heated air exits the console chassis.

Once the console is powered up, cooling fans remain on. A rear panel switch permits the fans to be set at low, medium or high speeds.

There are no filters to change or clean. As with any console, use in dusty/unclean environments should be avoided.
