2.6 Power Rectifier
The Power Rectifier used in a typical deployment converts 120 Volt AC current to 27 Volt DC current,
making it possible for the MCPAs to be powered by an AC power source. The Power Rectifier’s ability to
hold up to three power modules makes it easy to swap out an existing power module or add a new one as
necessary for increased DC power.
The Power Rectifier used in your deployment will have one power module. Each MCPA has two power
connections: +27V DC (red) and the Return (black) to the rectifier being used in the system. Each
power module in the rectifier require s its own 120 Volt power source.

2.7 Terminal Server
The Terminal Server provides serial functionality over the network for both serial consoles and serial data
connections. The Terminal Server 16 can provide sixteen indep e ndent serial connections from a single IP
address to multiple servers, allowing access to network server applications that support TCP/IP. This
prevents the need to install serial c ards in multiple servers at a location, and enables the use of servers
that cannot support a serial card.
