5.2 Power-Up
There is no power switch on the Async 232
↔
422/530 Card: Power is
automatically applied to the Async 232
↔
422/530 Card when its card-edge
connector touches the chassis’s mid-plane socket, or when the chassis’s power
is turned on.
NOTE
The Async 232
↔
422/530 Card is a hot-swappable card—it will not be
damaged by plugging it in or removing it while the rack is powered up.
