Controls and Indicators
The GSA Unit control panel holds two lights and four operator accessible switches, all with
internal lights (see Figure 6).
Figure 6 Controls and Indicators
External Power Light
This light, labeled EXT PWR and located between the STORE/POWER switch and the
CPU switch, is illuminated red whenever the GSA Unit is connected to external power. The
case batteries will be recharging when this light is on.
Case Battery Status Light
This light, labeled CASE BATTERY and located between the CAMERA/COM 1 switch
and the NONSECURE/STU switch, is green when there is plenty of power remaining in the
case's internal batteries and red when the power in the batteries is low (an alarm will also
sound).
NOTE: When the alarm sounds, immediately start to shut the system down.
There is at least five minutes until the case's power is unable to support the
system. This should be enough time to save all unsaved work before the system
shuts down. However the laptop will continue to function normally, depending
upon its battery’s charge capacity.
NOTE: Switching the power switch to STORE can turn off the alarm. This also
stops all components not powered by their own power supply.
