Before you Begin

The 90 Watt AC power supply is NOT auto-switching. These means that
you MUST be sure the red Voltage Selector Switch on the back of the
chassis shows the correct voltage for your location.
Before you connect any cables to the expansion
chassis, you need to know the voltage of your power
source and slide the Voltage Selector Switch from
115V to 220V if required. The factory default setting is
for the North American 115V standard. However, most
non-US locations use a 220V standard.
Remove the orange warning label that is
covering the plug receptacle.
STOP
Using an incorrect power source (wrong voltage for your system)
can result in serious damage to your system. Electronics
components, damaged by incorrect power, may prevent your
system from working properly and can be expensive to replace.
CAUTION
Remember, if you are using a 220V power source, you will need a
power converter (leave your Voltage Selector Switch at 115V), or a
250V power cord adapter (change your Voltage Selector Switch to
230V), to connect to the power source. Double-check that you have
the correct combination of Voltage Selector Switch setting and
Power Converter or Power Cable Adapter to allow your expansion
chassis to operate safely.
Remember, when traveling, to flip the red Voltage Selector switch, if
necessary.
