Power Requirements and Connections
After the server chassis has been physically installed and all other connections made,
connect the two redundant AC power cords to the back of the chassis and to an AC
power source. Be certain to observe the following AC power and connection
requirements and all applicable electrical codes.
The Lightspeed Live server is rated at 100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz, up to 10 amps. Take the
following precautions to ensure a safe power connection:
•
Make certain that the power source circuit can supply voltage within the specified
range and current of at least 10 amps without becoming overloaded.
•
Counted together, the server and other devices connected to the same power
source must not exceed the total capacity of the power source circuit.
•
To protect against circuit overload and overheating, ensure that the power source
circuit includes a circuit breaker no greater than 250 Volts, 20 Amps.
When power is connected, press the Power On/Off (0/1) button on the front of the
chassis to turn the server on. To turn power off at any time, press the Power On/Off
button again.
Power and General Cautions and Warnings
Observe the following precautions when connecting power and operating the server.
WARNING:
Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or
service this equipment.
WARNING:
Hazardous voltage or energy is present on the backplane when the system is
operating. To prevent possible injury or death, use caution when servicing.
WARNING:
This product relies on the building's installation for short-circuit (over-current)
protection. Ensure that the protective device is rated not greater than 250 Volts, 20 Amps.
WARNING:
Ensure a proper earth ground connection to the ground conductor in the AC
power plug. Failure to do so could present a severe electric shock hazard that could result
in injury or death.
CAUTION:
Telestream recommends connecting computer equipment to AC power
through an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) with surge protection. Fluctuations in
commercial supply voltage can damage unprotected electronic equipment. A high
quality surge suppressor may be substituted if a UPS is not available, but it may not
provide adequate electrical spike protection.
