Inverter ComBox
The Sideline Cart’s inverter ComBox manages communication from the inverter to X-Ware on the rack-mounted PC.
Inverter Alarm
This alarm sounds (and flashes) when AC power is lost and the AC inverter is activated. Once activated, the alarm can be
disabled from the rear patch panel’s Alarm Suspend button.
CAUTION:
When the Inverter Alarm sounds, take action to identify the root cause for loss of AC power.
Rack Power
Rack Power Distribution Unit
The Rack Power Distribution Unit (mounted vertically to the rear of the racked components) supplies power to all of the
rack equipment. It connects to AC Power via the Inverter, and in the event that AC power is lost, everything connected to the
Rack Power Distribution Unit will continue operation with power provided by the battery backup system.
Master Power Switch
The Sideline Cart’s Master Power Switch is located on the rear patch panel, and its functionality is described in detail in the
next section.
Power Draw
During normal system operation, the sideline cart pulls around 4–6 A of power. You can see this on the screen on front of
the AC Power Distribution Unit (bottom of the front rack). This number will spike to around 10–14 A when the cart’s battery
bank is being charged. As batteries charge, the amperage will decrease and return back to the normal range when fully
charged.
