Power Distribution Service
AC Power Plate
The AC power plate on the back of the cabinet provides the external AC power connection. An
AC EMI Filter in the power plate removes electrical noise that can cause interference with the
hardware inside the cabinet. The power plate has an ON/OFF switch and a 6 Amp Slo Blo fuse.
AC power from the power plate is routed through a power transformer to an AC power
strip/surge suppressor that provides power to all cabinet components. In areas that use 230
VAC, the transformer steps down the voltage to 115 VAC. Transformer wiring varies depending
on the input AC voltage. Refer to Figure 35 on page 58 for a power distribution diagram.
The cabinet must be connected to a secure ground to function properly.
