Overview
Installation
Operation
The ReBoot xP allows you to control the power to computers in your system
individually. It is used in conjunction with modules that include a Power Port,
such as the XPAB and XPRB modules, and connects using a standard RJ-11
cable. Power is controlled via hot-key sequence. Follow the instructions
below to connect the ReBoot xP to your system.
1. Locate the ReBoot xP unit and the two cables that came with it: the flat
cable with an RJ-11 connector on each end, and the 6-foot female to female
power cable.
2. Connect one end of the RJ-11 flat cable into the ReBoot xP. Plug the other end
into the Power Port on the controlling XPAB/XPRB module.
3. Power down your computer. Unplug your computer's power cord from the CPU
and plug it into the INPUT socket on the ReBoot xP. (Input and Output sockets
are labeled on the bottom of the ReBoot xP unit.)
4. Plug the power cable that came with your ReBoot xP into your computer. Plug
the other end of this cable in the OUTPUT socket on the ReBoot xP.
5. Power up your computer and turn on the ReBoot xP. If you are correctly
connected and have power, the green STATUS light will be lit.
