NOTE
The “Quiet” 275-watt and the 300-watt power supplies are auto
switching, which means the power supply will automatically adjust to
the voltage required for the region you are in.
Powering Up:
You must apply power to the PCI Expansion System first and then
power up your host computer. This will allow the higher numbered PCI
buses in your hierarchy to be at a stable state at the time that the host
system issues its master power-on bus reset. In systems that perform
automatic PCI bus configuration, this will allow the configuration code to
recognize the PCI bus hierarchy and the attached devices.
If you have several PCI Expansion Systems in your configuration, you
should power up the most "downstream" expansion system first, then
each expansion system moving “upstream” and finally the host system
last.
Powering Down:
It is recommended that your first shut down the host computer correctly
and then power down the chassis to avoid ‘computer lock-up’.
Step Nine: System Should Be Up and Running
WARNING
High voltages are present inside the chassis when the unit’s powe
cord is plugged into an electrical outlet. Disconnect the power cord
from its source before replacing the chassis cover. Turning the system
power off at the power on/off switch does not remove power to
components. High voltage is still present.
CAUTION
Before touching anything inside the chassis, move to an ESD station
and follow proper ESD procedure. Failure to do so may result in
electrostatic discharge damaging the computer or its components. Fo
more information, see “Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge”.
If there is a problem, be sure to turn off the power before making any
changes. If you are having trouble with the system, turn off the host
computer and the chassis, then check that all cards are seated in the
slot properly and all cables are connected.
