INTRODUCTION  
Congratulations on your purchase of the Power Rack 58. Your complete  
satisfaction is very important to us.  
Gefen  
Gefen delivers innovative, progressive computer and electronics add-on solutions  
that harness integration, extension, distribution and conversion technologies.  
Gefen’s reliable, plug-and-play products supplement cross-platform computer  
systems, professional audio/video environments and HDTV systems of all sizes  
with hard-working solutions that are easy to implement and simple to operate.  
The Gefen Power Rack 58  
The Gefen Power Rack 58 is the perfect solution for cleaning up a messy rack  
space lled with individual power supply cables from many 5-Volt A/V devices.  
The Power Rack eliminates the need for multiple power supplies, centralizes  
power distribution, and saves space.  
How It Works  
The Gefen Power Rack 58 is rack mounted in a single 1U rack space near up to  
eight 5V DC / 2.5A rated devices. The 24-Volt power supply of the Power Rack  
58 is connected to a wall outlet or power strip and a red LED appears on the front  
panel, indicating successful power-on. 5-Volt power cables run from the rear of  
the Power Rack to the power input of each 5-Volt powered device.  
On the front side of the Power Rack 58, there are 1 Power LED (red) and 8x  
dual-state (green/red) LEDs, one for each power feed that is connected to an  
external device. A Green LED color indicates normal power output at 5V ±0.3V. If  
the output voltage of this feed is below or above this voltage range, the dual-state  
LED turns red to indicate an error condition.  
Note: All power outputs have a grounding wire that is connected back to the  
Power Rack for maximum safety when powering external devices.

OPERATION NOTES  
READ THESE NOTES BEFORE INSTALLING OR  
OPERATING THE POWER RACK 58  
The Power Rack 58 can supply power to up to eight 5V Gefen products that  
do not exceed 2.5 amps/12.5 Watts (max).  
The LED indicators will indicate the status of each of the power outputs. A  
GREEN LED will indicate a good status. A RED LED will indicate an output  
fault. This will occur when the output voltage dips below or beyond 0.3V of  
the 5V norm.
