1. AC Power Connectors — Connect both AC power connectors to an Uninterruptible Power Supply
(UPS) to provide redundant power for your px12-450r. The AC power supply will automatically switch to
the correct voltage for your region.
2. Power Supply — The px12-450r has redundant hot-swappable power supplies. If one power supply
fails, the other power supply will immediately take over. For maximum time-up, a failed power supply can
be replaced while the px12-450r is running.

Console. This light is used to identify a specific px12-450r in installations with multiple devices.

allows you to regain access if network settings are incorrect or you’ve forgotten your password.
The reset button does not initiate a full factory reset. To perform a full factory reset, select Factory
Reset from the System page in the px12-450r Management Console.
