MXC-2300 Appendix A Power Supply & Consumption NOTE: Information in this Appendix is for power budget planning and design purposes only. Actual power consumption may differ based on final application. Y R A IN A.1 Power Consumption Reference Power consumption as follows is based on lab data in which 24V DC is applied and current is measured by the DC power supply. The power consumption (W) is calculated as the product of applied voltage (V) and the current (A).
X Sufficient power supply for the entire system is required to meet these specifications. At least 100W at 24V input is recommended. X Heat generated by add-on PCI/PCIe adapters affects thermal stability. Additional heat dissipation is required when the system operates at high temperatures or in harsh environments with add-on adapters. X Power supply specifications shown are for total power consumption of all PCI/PCIe slots at once, not for single slot use. NOTE: Y R A IN A.2 Power Supply Reference +3.
MXC-2300 Important Safety Instructions For user safety, please read and follow all instructions, WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, and NOTES marked in this manual and on the associated equipment before handling/operating the equipment. Y R A IN X Read these safety instructions carefully. X Keep this user’s manual for future reference. X Read the specifications section of this manual for detailed information on the operating environment of this equipment.
X Never attempt to fix the equipment. Equipment should only be serviced by qualified personnel. A Lithium-type battery may be provided for uninterrupted, backup or emergency power. There is risk of explosion if the battery is replaced with an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries appropriately.
