4.2.5Connecting DC Power Cable to Roadrunner Board
The Roadrunner board has a standard 4-pin DC power connector. Simply take one of
the 4-pin DC power cables extending from your power supply and plug it into the
Roadrunner board. For AM-3000 VME system a DC power "Y" adapter cable is
provided as part of the hardware kit. If all available DC power cables from the main
power supply are already in use, you’ll need to attach the adapter cable to the device
closest to the Roadrunner board and share the power feed. To do this, simply unplug
the nearest existing DC power cable and attach the "Y" adapter cable to it. Plug the
single male end of the adapter cable onto the female DC power cable. Then plug one of
the two female adapter connectors into the original device and the other into the new
Roadrunner board. If for some reason the adapter cannot be split far enough, you can of
course use the adapter cable for any two devices, and use the freed main cable for the
Roadrunner board.
Although the power connectors are keyed, with extra force they can be installed
incorrectly
, so be careful!
