Supplying Power to the Cradle
The cradle receives power from one of two sources:
• An external power supply.
• When connected to the host through an interface cable that supplies power.
The cradle detects whether the host or the external supply is supplying power. It always draws power from the
external supply when available, regardless of the presence of power from a host.
Mounting the Cradle
For information on mounting the cradle, refer to the documentation included with the cradle.
