Auto Boot on Power

The DSMC2 Jetpack Expander, DSMC2 Jetpack-SDI Expander, DSMC2 REDVOLT Expander, DSMC2 V-Lock I/O Expander, and DSMC2 Production Module feature a selector switch that enables the camera to automatically boot when power is provided via the DC IN connector on the device. The Auto Boot on Power switch (identified by a line or a white star) is located on top of the device.

When Auto Boot on Power is enabled, the camera disables all power sources that are not the DC IN connector on the expander or module, including batteries and the DC IN connectors on any other modules.

NOTE: The battery plate on the DSMC2 Production Module is always enabled, regardless of the Auto Boot on Power switch position.
