different modules.
3.2.2 Power SupplyModules
The chassis houses up to two Power Supply modules for providing power load sharing and
AC power redundancy in case of failure of one of the Power Supply modules. Each module
provides an AC power inlet on the rear panel of the chassis for connection to an electrical
power outlet.
3.2.2.1 Power LED Description
Each Power Supply module provides a POWER LED on its front panel which indicates the
status of the power supply, as described in the table below.

4 Mounting the Device
The device can be mounted in one of the following ways:
Placed on a desktop - see Section 'Desktop Mounting' on page 20
Installed in a standard, 19-inch rack - see Section ‘Rack Mounting' on page 21
Warning: The side panels of the chassis where the air vents are located must remain
unobstructed to ensure adequate airflow and prevent overheating inside the chassis.
Pay attention to wiring and cable routes to avoid blocking of the ventilation openings.
Avertissement : Les panneaux latéraux du châssis où se trouvent les buses de
ventilation doivent être dégagés pour assurer un flux d’air adéquat et prévenir la
surchauffe à l’intérieur du châssis. Faites attention au câblage et aux chemins de
câbles pour éviter de bloquer les bouches d’aération.
4.1 Desktop Mounting
The device can be mounted on a desktop by attaching the four anti-slide bumpers (supplied)
to the underside of the device. Once you have attached these bumpers, simply place it on a
desktop in the desired position.
To attach the anti-slide rubber bumpers to the device:
1. Flip the device over so that its underside faces up.
2. Locate the four anti-slide grooves on the underside -- one on each corner.
Figure 4-1: Rubber Feet Locations
3. Peel off the adhesive, anti-slide rubber feet (supplied) and stick one in each anti-slide
groove.
4. Flip the device over again so that it rests on its underside with the rubber feet in contact
with the surface.
