Replacing A Power Supply - Pinnacle Systems Deko1000 Technical Reference And Service Manual

Replacing A Power Supply

Important: Remove a Power Supply only if directed to do so by a Pinnacle Systems Customer Support
representative.
Both the Deko1000 and Deko550 Workstation uses a dual Power Supply configuration. The
redundancy with the power supplies is so that if one Power Supply should fail the other will keep
the workstation from abruptly powering down. When a Deko1000 or Deko550 Workstation
Power Supply unit starts to malfunction, the LED on the unit will dim and eventually turn off. A
Workstation Power Supply unit is shown in Figure 5-13.
The Power Supplies are accessed from the back of a Deko1000 or Deko550 Workstation if it
becomes necessary to install a replacement. A Power Supply can be replaced "hot." That is, a
Power Supply can be replaced while the Deko1000 or Deko550 is powered up (i.e., turned on and
running).
1. Switch damaged Power Supply to off position and unplug it.
Make sure the switch of the Power Supply to be removed is in the off (i.e., "O") position,
and its power cord is removed. Refer to Figure 5-14.
