## About This Guide

The Origin Vault power switch upgrade provides hard power switch capability. The switch in this upgrade retains an on or an off setting (push on, push off); the original switch did not automatically return power to the system once power was returned from a power outage.

This guide contains instructions for preparing the Origin Vault rackmounted enclosure or standalone tower for the component replacement, installing the replacement power button plate for the side-hinged door of an Origin Vault expansion option mounted in an Origin2000 Rack or P-S-RACK, and exchanging the controller board assembly. It also explains the functional differences between the original Origin Vault power switch and the replacement power switch.

## Audience

This guide is written for owners and users of the Origin Vault expansion option.
