2.1 INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing the Black Box Central Power Hub.
In tune with your network, as KVM systems expand so too
do their requirements for the reliable supply of power.
While individual Black Box power adaptors perform well,
as devices proliferate they can become unwieldy and diffi-
cult to manage. Central Power Hub provides the next step
in terms of efficiency, reliability and power management.
The heart of the Central Power Hub system is a modular
chassis which occupies a 1U 19” rack slot. Arranged along
its rear panel are eight or sixteen low voltage output ports.
These ports are then linked via cables and/or
Converter
dongles
to the devices that require power. Each output
has a nominal power rating of 30W.
The overall power is generated within the main chassis by
either one or two plug-in 495W power modules. Adding
the optional second power module provides redundancy
for mission critical installations. During normal operation,
the overall load is shared between the twin power mod-
ules, with the full load transferring instantly to one if the
mains supply to the other should fail.
