Power Adapter Module (PX-PWR-
ADPTR)
The Power Adapter Module (PX-PWR-ADPTR) connects DC power (+24V and +5VL) and control signals
(I2C and Alarm) from the External Power Supply Frame (PX-FR-EXPS) to the Power Distribution modules
(PX-PD-TOP and PX-PD-BOTTOM). Two Power Adapter boards are assembled into the AC/DC Rear Panel.
There are four AC/DC Rear Panels assembled to the IP3 frame; two at the top and two at the bottom.
The Power Adapter module contains fuses and Transient Voltage Suppressors (TVS) diodes for over-
current and Transient Voltage protection respectively. Besides these components the Power Adapter
module is passive.
Eight Power Adapter modules are installed in the frame, so that two PX-FR-EXPS frames can be
connected to the IP3 frame for power redundancy.
When the IP3 frame is shipped, plastic covers are placed over the Combo D-sub miniature (Dsub)
connector to protect the pins from damage. The plastic covers should only be removed if the PX-FR-EXPS
is connected to the IP3 frame.
