6.3.4. Power and Grounding
6.3.4.1. DC power Input
The OmniView is supplied by a 24VDC external power supply. This can be connected to the mains
power by either option of the US power cord or the EU power cord.
Electrical power disconnect: The unit can be disconnected from the electrical supply by either
unplugging the 4 pin power connector on the OmniView I/O panel, or by disconnecting the power
supply from the wall supply. The power cord(s) is considered the mains disconnect for the server
and must be readily accessible (either at the wall or on the unit) when installed.
Grounding the system: To avoid an electrical shock hazard, you must ensure the system has
proper grounding. The OmniView power cord includes the safety ground conductor and provides
proper grounding only for the OmniView. You must ensure proper grounding is provided for the
entire system into which the OmniView is embedded. You must provide additional, proper
grounding for the OmniView and the host equipment.
Overcurrent protection: There is no Over Current protection built into the OmniView. The
external power supply is designed to handle input 100-240 VAC 1.3A, 50-60Hz, and output 24VDC
1.67A max. If overcurrent protection is required beyond the limits of the supplied power supply,
you must provide supplemental protection for the OmniView.
WARNING: Do not attempt to modify the supplied power supply or use an
unapproved power cord set that is not the exact type required. You must use a
power cord set that meets the following criteria:
 Rating: In the U.S. and Canada, cords must be UL (Underwriters Laboratories,
Inc.) Listed/CSA (Canadian Standards Organization) Certified type SJT, 18-3
AWG (American Wire Gauge). Outside of the U.S. and Canada, cords must be
flexible harmonized (<HAR>) or VDE (Verbena Deutscher Electrotechniker,
German Institute of Electrical Engineers) certified cord with 3x 0.75 mm
conductors rated 250 VAC.
 Connector, wall outlet end: Cords must be terminated in grounding-type
male plug designed for use in your region. The connector must have
certification marks showing certification by an agency acceptable in your
region and for U.S. must be listed and rated for 125% of the overall current
rating of the server.
 Connector, OmniView end: The connector that plugs into the DC power
receptacle on the I/O panel of the OmniView must be an approved power
connector approved by Kontron, America, Molex, power series 5539.
 Cord length and flexibility: Cords must be less than 4.5 meters (14.8 feet)
long.
The system is only completely disconnected from the main power supply by
disconnecting the power from the unit or from the wall supply.
