Connecting Power to the GigaVUE-HCT
The GigaVUE-HCT supports an AC power adapter in a 1+1 redundant configuration. In all cases, only a single power adapter is required to operate the node. However, connecting both adapters in a 1+1 configuration provides redundant power. The steps to connect power adapters are as follows:
| 1. | Plug the power adapter DC header into each power input connector at the rear of the GigaVUE-HCT. |
| 2. | Plug an approved C5 power cable into each of the power adapters. Plug the other end of the power cables into a power source that can supply adequate power. For optimal power protection, plug the power adapters into separate circuits. |
Note: To avoid disk corruption, please ensure the "reload halt" command is executed before an ungraceful power shutdown.
| 3. | When connecting to an external AC power source, ensure that a Surge Protective Device (SPD) is installed at the AC power inlet. |
| 4. | Once the power supply is turned OFF, wait for 1 minute (60 seconds) before turning the power supply ON for GigaVUE-HCT. |

Remove or Replace the Power Adapter
To remove or replace a power adapter, follow below steps:
1. Disconnect the AC power cord to power down the adapter.
2. Disconnect adapter's DC header.
3. If a new adapter is needed, replace the adapter and connect it back.
4. Repeat the first and second steps for other power adapter in the GigaVUE-HCT chassis.
