Power Supply Interfaces (Opto-couplers)
The chassis has two power supply interfaces, also referred to as opto-
couplers, in the lower right corner of the rear panel. The interfaces, labeled
Power Supply Interface, are used by the active master control card to
obtain status information from the power supplies. The interfaces are
shown in Figure 32.
Figure 32. Power Supply Interfaces (Opto-couplers)
The control card uses the top interface to communicate with the power
supplies in slots A and C, and the bottom interface to communicate with
the power supplies in slots B and D.
The power supply interfaces are not hot swappable and should only be
serviced by an authorized service technician.
