inside the power supplies. This unit should only be serviced by trained personnel.
The power supplies for the Kula AV mainframe are retained within the mainframe body,
there are no On/Off switches for the power supplies. The mainframe will power up as soon
as the AC Power Cables are plugged into the IEC connectors and turned
On
at the AC mains
supply.
Checking the Kula AV Power Supplies
Kula AV mainframe power supplies are hot-swappable. Replacing power supplies should
only be attempted by qualified personnel.
To see that the power supplies are working correctly, when mains power is applied, a green
power LED is lit (as shown below).
With the power supplies un-plugged from the mains supply, they can be individually
removed by unscrewing the removal screws and carefully withdrawing the PSU from the
body of the mainframe.
Note:
To reduce the risk of electric shock, plug each power supply cord into
separate branch circuits employing separate service grounds.
Note:
To ensure full dual redundancy, the two power supplies must be
powered from independent power sources.
