Patton electronics 1092RC, User Manual

Switching the Power Supply On and Off

The power switch is located on the front panel.  When plugged in

and switched on, a red front panel LED will glow.  Since the Model
1000R16 is a "hot swappable" rack, 

it is not necessary for any cards to

be installed before switching on the power supply

.  The power supply

may be switched off at any time without harming the installed cards.

NOTE:  

Please refer to the Model 1000RP Series User Manual

replacement information.

rack chassis:

1.

Slide the rear card into the back of the chassis along the metal
rails provided.

into the card-edge receptacle of the
