INSTRUCTIONAL MANUAL 2750L-P/4500L-P/6000L-P August, 2001 Rev. K AUXILIARY POWER SUPPLY The Auxiliary Power Supply receives the +300 supply voltage from the Input Power Supply. The +300 supply voltage is then changed to the +50 VDC supply voltage for operating the fans and relays. In addition to the +50 VDC supply, +15VSW1 is also generated.
