What is the first step in properly powering on the Tactical Session Controller (TSC)?

The initial step in properly powering on the Tactical Session Controller (TSC) is to connect the power cord to the Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). This is crucial because the UPS serves as a backup power source, ensuring that the TSC receives steady and reliable power, even in the event of an outage. By connecting the power cord to the UPS first, you can ensure that the power supply is ready to deliver electricity to the TSC without interruptions or fluctuations that could damage the equipment or impact its performance.

Connecting the power cord is the foundational step, allowing subsequent actions, such as turning on the rectifier or pressing the power button on the controller itself, to be carried out in a safe and controlled manner. Ensuring that the UPS is properly set up is vital for the overall operational readiness of the TSC.
