Operational information

The Forum 550 Power Supply unit will be ready for operation as soon as it
has been plugged into the designated slot (see

starting on page 94).

The mains voltage of 230 V is drawn through the standard IEC connector. The
output voltages are fed to the BPV+1-12 backplane through the 96-pin
spring contact strip (see

starting on page 100).

In the event of a power failure, the power supply unit will generate a power
failure signal.
