• Secure the power supply by using two screws on each side to lock it into place.

2. Remove the Feet (Optional)

• Use the included screws to remove the feet and make the unit fit more seamlessly with other rack gear.

3. Use Threaded Adapter Pieces (Optional)

• For this setup, we are using channels 1 and 2, but you can connect as many devices as needed.

6. Turn On the Power Supply

• After plugging in your gear, flip the power switch to the "on" position to activate the power supply.
• All your connected devices should now turn on, ready for use.

7. Resettable Circuit Breaker

• On the back of the RDF-9U, there is a resettable 15A circuit breaker. This is designed to protect your gear in case of overload.
