Locally: The VTrak enclosure has LEDs on the front to monitor the status of

green, VTrak is functioning normally.

Can VTrak run using just one power supply?
Yes, it is possible to run VTrak on a single power supply. There are two

fails. But deliberately leaving one power supply off negates this advantage.
