Computer Power Sources
Case Supplied Power
Since the GSA Unit is a fully integrated system, this is the preferred operating method. To
operate in this mode, dock the computer, insert the power cable on the docking bar to the
computer’s power input, and flip the CPU switch to the ON position.
Computer Battery
If you do not wish to power the computer through the case’s power supply, then you can use
the computer’s internal battery to power it. To operate in this mode, either undock the
computer or with the computer docked, flip the CPU switch to the OFF position. This
switches the computer to battery operated mode.
To recharge the computer batteries, dock the computer back into the GSA Unit with the CPU
switch in the ON position or plug the computer into a suitable A/C power source with the
supplied A/C power adapter. For the fastest recharge, the computer must be powered off.
Computer A/C Adapter
The computer normally gets its power from either the GSA Unit case or from its internal
batteries. A third way to power the computer is to plug it into an A/C power source, e.g., a
wall outlet. For this purpose, an A/C power adapter specifically designed just for the
computer has been included with the GSA Unit.
