2.4 Power redundancy and
uninterrupted power supply (UPS)
2.5 Powering up
the mikromedia 7 board
The PSU module supports power supply redundancy: it will automatically
switch to the most appropriate power source if one of the power sources
fails or becomes disconnected. The power supply redundancy also allows
for an uninterrupted operation (i.e. UPS functionality, the battery will still
provide power if the USB cable is removed, without resetting mikromedia 7
during the transition period).
After a valid power supply source is connected (1), mikromedia 7 can be
powered ON. This can be done by a small switch at the edge of the board,
labeled as SW2 (2). By switching it ON, the PSU module will be enabled, and
the power will be distributed throughout the board. A LED indicator labeled
as PWR indicates that the mikromedia 7 is powered ON.
