The following voltage specification applies to the drive power connector. Connections to the drive
should be made in a safety extra low voltage (SELV) circuit.
should be made in a safety extra low voltage (SELV) circuit.
The drive does not use the +5V supply input pins available on a typical 40-Pin SCA-2 connector.
The drive uses the +12V supply input. The 5V ground pins are connected to the common ground
plane within the unit.
