Chapter 3 Hardware Overview

To connect the power to the AC power model, insert the female end of power cord to the power receptacle on the rear panel. Connect the other end of the supplied power cord to a 100~240VAC/1.5A power outlet. Make sure that no objects obstruct the airflow of the fans (located on the side of the unit).

The DC power models require DC power supply input of –48 VDC to -60 VDC. The GS-3012 DC power model requires 1.5A Max. The GS-3012F DC power model requires 1.25A Max. To connect the power to the unit, insert the one end of the supplied power cord to the power receptacle on the rear panel and the other end to a power outlet.
