3.3 SCS-R and Sentinel Power Modules
The SCS80R, SCS160R, SCS320R, and Sentinel 32 provide dual AC Power Modules
which are field-replaceable and connect to the rear panel of the SCS chassis. Each Power
Module has a power entry connection with an IEC-type power connector.
The SCS80R, SCS160R, SCS320R, and Sentinel 32 have a power monitoring display
shown on the front panel to indicate if one of the power supplies is not powering the
system (either AC power failure, a Module is turned off or the supply has failed).
SCS Front Panel display: Left Power Supply failure
The SCS480R Power Module is mounted in the front panel of the SCS480R. It has the
same capabilities as the SCSR and Sentinel Modules. It is not necessary to remove the AC
power cord from the SCS480R when replacing a module.
!
Note: The Power Modules in the SCS160/320/480 are not field serviceable.
This option applies to the SCS80R, SCS160R, SCS320R, SCS480R and Sentinel 32
only.
Each Power Module can fully support the SCS80R, SCS160R, SCS320R, SCS480R and
Sentinel 32 system. However, the intended design is to have two power sources running
your SCS system. When both supplies are active, they will share the system load. If one
fails, the remaining supply can then take the full load.
The SCS80R, SCS160R, SCS320R, SCS480R, and Sentinel 32 ship with two AC power
cords, one for each module, to allow separate AC power source connections. Plug the IEC
connection into the SCS AC Power Module and connect the AC cord to a standard AC
power source.
3.3.1 Power Module Replacement
The Power Modules of the SCS-R and Sentinel 32 Models may be hot-swapped. Each
slide-in Power Module is held in place with a single captive screw and does not need to be
removed except for replacement.
