The Origin Vault power switch upgrade provides hard power switch capability. The switch in this upgrade retains an on or an off setting (push on, push off); the original switch did not automatically return power to the system once power was returned from a power outage.
This guide contains instructions for preparing the Origin Vault rackmounted enclosure or standalone tower for the component replacement, installing the replacement power button plate for the side-hinged door of an Origin Vault expansion option mounted in an Origin2000 Rack or P-S-RACK, and exchanging the controller board assembly. It also explains the functional differences between the original Origin Vault power switch and the replacement power switch.
This guide contains the following chapters:
Chapter 1, “Upgrade Kit Contents,” describes the components included in the upgrade kit.
Chapter 2, “Replacing the Origin Vault Controller Board,” explains how to prepare the Origin Vault for the component replacement, how to install the replacement power button plate for the side-hinged door of an Origin Vault expansion option mounted in an Origin2000 Rack or P-S-RACK, and how to replace the controller board assembly.
Chapter 3, “Power Switch Functionality,” describes power switch function and explains the differences between the original Origin Vault power switch and the replacement power switch.
