detects them and notifies you of their status.
Additionally, both the Powerln1 and Powerln2 Auto Detect
checkboxes are automatically selected on the Power Supply
Setup page.
If you are using only one power supply, you can enable
automatic detection for only the power supply in use.

If either of these checkboxes is selected and only power input
is connected, the power LED on the front of the device is Red.
