Powering Up

Do not power the V- Switch 2000 up and down quickly. The power supply is protected against electrical surges and needs at least 5 seconds between power down and power up.

You can power up the V-Switch 2000 once you have connected and powered up the storage devices. The V-Switch 2000 contains a storage auto-discovery function. At power-up the V-Switch 2000 automatically scans for and registers all attached and powered up network storage devices. Therefore, power up all storage devices before powering up the V-Switch 2000. Storage devices added after V-Switch 2000 power-up will be registered in the next V-Switch 2000 storage network scan.

The V-Switch 2000 contains one onboard auto-switch 100V/230V AC power supply.
