AC Power comes in from a module which is located on the front or rear panel then goes to the power supply which delivers the DC power (+15, +5, 0, -5) to a power harness connected in a ‘star’ configuration. This reduces power drops found in some systems which use a rail or daisy-chain configuration. See the Q101 page for power-related modules, power supplies, and harnesses. See the Technical information page for details about power connectors and pinouts.
