Power

The USRP is powered by a 6V 4A AC/DC power converter. The converter is capable of 90-260VAC, 50/60 Hz operation, and so should work in any country. If there is a need to use another power supply, the connector is a standard 2.1mm/5.5mm DC power connector. The USRP motherboard itself only needs 5V, but a 6V supply is needed to supply its daughterboards. It draws about 1.6A with 2 daughterboards fixed on it. The power can be checked to be connected to the USRP by seeing a blinking LED on it. If there is no blinking LED, check all power connections, and check for continuity in the power fuse (F501, near the power connector). If the fuse needs replacement, it is size 0603, rating 3 amps.
