Installation

This chapter provides information on the DETOUR hardware components and instructions for the basic physical 
installation of the DETOUR in your system. 

Static Discharge

Throughout this chapter, please heed the following cautionary note: 

Power Adapter and Supply

DETOUR may be powered from its USB connector

1

, or an external 5V power supply. However, DETOUR 

operation is dependent on the connected power source (or absence thereof) as follows:

• OUT 1 and failsafe operation is available when either power source is connected. DETOUR functions as a 

reclocker with relay bypass.

• OUT 2, 3 and 4 are available for use when the external 5V power source is connected. DETOUR functions as 

1x4 Reclocking DA with relay bypass.

• When no power is available to DETOUR from either USB or external sources, the relay bypass allows the 

BYPASS IN signal to connect to OUT 1. 

Connecting to a 5V PSU

Connect the PS-9000 power adapter to the power supply connector. The PS-9000 provides reg5V DC (5%) 
@ up to 2A. The DC power cord has a locking connector that securely fastens into the power supply DC jack on the 
DETOUR. The DETOUR has a standard miniature power jack (center pin positive). Refer to the document 
“

Important Regulatory and Safety Notices to Service Personnel

” that accompanied your module for details.

Using the USB as the Power Source

Connect the DETOUR to a USB Power Source via the mini-B connector on the DETOUR chassis. 



Ensure that the USB Power Source supports the power consumption requirements listed in 

Table 7.5

 on page 31.

ESD Susceptibility

 — Static discharge can cause serious damage to sensitive semiconductor 

devices. Avoid handling circuit boards in high static environments such as carpeted areas and when 
synthetic fiber clothing is worn. Always exercise proper grounding precautions when working on circuit 
boards and related equipment.

1. OUT 2, 3, and 4 are not available when operating on USB power only.
