Power Up Getting Started GETTING UP AND RUNNING To get started with a JNIOR you will need a power supply or some source of power. In many cases the JNIOR ships in bulk to integrators and power supplies are obtained separately since they depend on the destination country. That often means that you might be handed a JNIOR without a power supply. Any roughly 12 VDC source capable of supplying at least 1 AMP will work. Power supplies for the JNIOR may be supplied with the 4-position screw terminal connector. More recently the power supplies are equipped with a 2.1MM I.D. 5.5MM O.D center positive barrel connector. A short adapter accepting the barrel connector provides the 4-position connection for the JNIOR. In addition there are four 8-position connectors provided. If the barrel adapter is not available you can cut the barrel connector off a suitable supply, strip and tin the wires as needed. See PWR for wiring details. With power applied to the JNIOR the Blue LED will illuminate. The Orange LED illuminates briefly during boot. This orange status LED has many uses and may flash at times to indicate activity. NOTES The Series 3 JNIOR used a Green LED to indicate power. The legacy Series 3 units are not recommended for new applications.
