(44.45 cm) x 16 inches (40.65 cm). Do not block air flow through the side vents.
4. Connect one or two power cords to the FS2 and mains AC (100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz,
55 Watts). For redundancy, use both cords and connect them to separate branch
circuits. The FS2 power supply is autosensing and adjusts to the available power.
5. Connect your computer to the FS2 using a CAT5 Ethernet cable to the FS2 RJ45 10/
100/1000 Ethernet LAN connector. You can connect directly or via a network
device such as a switch, hub, bridge, etc. The FS2 automatically senses and adjusts
to either a straight-through or crossover cable.
6. Make signal I/O connections to the FS2 back panel as the following figure shows.
