The AC power input unit receives external AC power. The PC connection terminal is provided with power and control signals from a PC. The internal circuit board detects the operation of the PC through the control signals and power supplied from the PC connection terminal and controls the power of the AC power input unit. The function selecting switch supports a general multitap mode, power-saving multitap mode and power off mode. The PC power connector provides power to the PC.
