Cautions and Warnings
Definitions
Cautions indicate potential damage to equipment.
Warnings indicate a potential hazard or injury to people.
Cautions and warnings in this manual
Cautions and warnings are explained here and placed throughout this manual where
appropriate.
CAUTION
: While installing or servicing the Power Module, wear a grounding
device and observe all electrostatic discharge precautions. Failure to observe this
caution could result in damage or failure of the Power Module.
WARNING:
Do not connect the Power Module to an external power source before
installing it into the chassis. Failure to observe this warning could result in an
electrical shock, even death.
WARNING:
A readily accessible, suitable National Electrical Code (NEC) or
local electrical code approved disconnect device and branch-circuit protector must
be part of the building's installed wiring to accommodate permanently connected
equipment. Failure to observe this warning could result in an electric shock, even
death.
WARNING:
Turn the Power Module and external power source OFF and ensure
that the Power Module is disconnected from the external power source before
performing any maintenance. Failure to observe this warning could result in an
electrical shock, even death.

Installation
IMPORTANT
• All installation and service must be performed by qualified personnel only.
• Read, understand, and follow all CAUTION and WARNING notices, instructions
marked on the product, including in this manual.
The IONPS-A, AC Power Module can replace an existing IONPS-A, AC Power
Module or it can be installed as the redundant Power Module in an AC powered
ION219-A chassis.
CAUTION
: While installing or servicing the Power Module, wear a grounding
device and observe all electrostatic discharge precautions. Failure to observe this
caution could result in damage or failure of the Power Module.

Notices
• The IONPS-A, AC Power Module must be installed by qualified technical
personnel only. Transition networks assumes no responsibility for the improper
installation, set up, or use of the IONPS-A, AC Power Module.
• The information in this user’s guide is subject to change. For the most up-to-date
information, see the user’s guide on-line to download the current version of the
manual at
www.transition.com under Products.
Power module redundancy
The IONPS-A, AC Power Module includes Instant Fail-Over (IFO) circuitry that
provides the capability for the primary Power Module to power the chassis backplane
while the auxiliary Power Module is in ‘hot’ standby mode. If the IFO circuitry detects
the loss of primary power, the auxiliary Power Module instantly provides power to the
chassis backplane. When primary power is restored, the IFO circuitry places the
auxiliary Power Module in ‘hot’ standby mode. The chassis primary Power Module is
located in the left slot of the chassis as viewed from the rear. The chassis auxiliary
Power Module is located in the right slot of the chassis as viewed from the rear. A
single Power Module placed in either location can power the chassis backplane.
Note: The IONPS-A, AC Power Modules DO NOT load share.
