POWER Indicator

Lights when AC power to the unit is ON. If both power switches A and B are turned on, this indicator will light green. If either power switch A or B is turned on, it will light red. If the RIVAGE PM series is not started, it will light orange.

b

USB port

Enables you to connect a USB device (such as a mouse, keyboard, or USB flash drive). Use a USB flash drive to store the system’s internal data and to load the stored data into the system.

USB flash drive format

The FAT16 and FAT32 formats are supported.

Write Protection

Some USB flash drives feature write protection that prevents data from being erased inadvertently. If your USB flash drive contains important data, we suggest that you use write protection to prevent accidental erasure. On the other hand, you will need to make sure that your USB flash drive’s write-protect setting is turned off before you save data onto the USB flash drive.

NOTICE
