Quasar Surface Connections

Network Connections

Connect an Ethernet cable to the Primary network port (A), labeled "PORT #0" on the console's rear I/O board. Connect the other end of the cable to the Gigabit port of your network switch.

The Secondary network port (B), labeled "PORT #1", can be used to create an optional redundant network connection. Doing so will require a special configuration of the switch ports as outlined in the Quasar Installation Guide.

Mains Power Connections

Use the provided AC power cable(s) to connect the surface's PSU module (C) to a grounded power receptacle. If you have more than one power supply in your system, we suggest connecting them to different power sources for redundancy and highly recommend the use of a UPS (uninterruptable power supply) for each source.

Important - The Quasar Surface is grounded through the power cable and therefore relies upon proper grounding of the circuit providing power. There is no separate chassis ground.
