Cable Positioning for the AMUX-64T

Power-On Sequence

If the AMUX-64T is powered by an external power source, you must turn
on power to the AMUX-64T before turning on the computer. Similarly,
you must turn off power to the AMUX-64T after turning off the computer.
The red LED, labeled D2, indicates when power is applied to the board.
