Why is there a flashing red light on the front of the podium?

Podium power distribution units must remain on

  • Some podiums and half racks in classrooms come equipped with a slim-line power distribution unit (PDU) to regulate electrical current and protect the integrity of electronic components.

  • Across the front of the power supply, a row of green lights indicates power status for each internal outlet.

  • The red flashing alert light on those power supplies simply means "I'm a network controlled power supply but I'm not connected to network, and I think it's very important that you know that, so I flash red".

  • In order for the AV system in the room to function properly, it is essential that the rack or podium have power.

  • Even if you see the flashing red light, please do not power down the equipment.
