Accessories: rack -mount screws (8 pcs.), rack -mount ears (2 pcs.), rubber foot (4 pcs.)

If any item is found missing or damaged, please contact your local reseller for replacement.

Installation

The site where you place the chassis system may greatly affect its performance. When installing, take the following into your consideration:

6

As with any electric device, you should place the equipment where it will not be subjected to high temperatures, high humidity, or electromagnetic interference. The site you selected should meet the following requirements:

-

The ambient temperature should be between 32 and 104 degrees

Fahrenheit (0 to 40 degrees Celsius).

- The relative humidity should be less than 90 percent, non-condensing.

- Surrounding electrical devices should not exceed the electromagnetic field (RFC) standards for IEC 801-3, Level 2

(3V/M) field strength.

- Make sure that the equipment receives adequate ventilation at the rear. Do not block the fan exhaust holes on the rear of the chassis.

- The power outlet should be within 1.8 meters of the chassis.

How to Install the System

We strongly suggest that you install the chassis first, as this is more convenient for you to install media converters into the chassis with ease. The accessories supplied in the product package include: rackmount screws (8 pcs.) and rack-mount brackets (2 pcs.). This wellbuilt chassis can be installed in t he following ways:

7

.Mounting to 19-inch standard rack

Use the rack-mount brackets and screws to install the chassis into any

EIA 19” standard rack.

Step 1: Attach the brackets to both sides of the chassis. Apply four screws to each side and secure them.

Step 2: Carefully position the chassis into the rack. Align the brackets to the screw holes on the rack and use rack screws to secure the chassis on the rack.

Step 3: Proceed to the “Connecting to Power” section.

8

.Installing Media Converter

The chassis is equipped with sixteen media converter carriers, each of which is fitted into bays of the chassis.

Step 1: To install a media converter module onto the chassis, you have to unscrew the bay cover from the desired bay first.

Step 2: Unscrew the thumbscrew counter clockwise and pull the media converter out of the carrier as shown below.

Unscrew the hand screw counter clockwise by using hand or screwdriver and pull the media converter module out on the carrier

Step 3: Carefully slide in the module and fasten the thumbscrew clockwise until it is fully and firmly fitted into the slot of the chassis.

Insert the media converter module into an available slot and fasten the hand screw clockwise by using hand or screwdriver.

.

Connecting to Power (Power Supply)

The chassis ships with only one power supply. An optional second power supply is available. When the chassis is equipped with two power supplies, you can have the following advanced features.

? ?

Hot Swappable –

The design of the power system is based on an idea of providing maximum flexibility and redundancy. In this way, you may remove any one of the two power supplies without powering off the system.

? ?

Redundancy –

During operation, both power supplies share the current load. In case that one of them failed, the other will instantaneously take

100% of the load without any connection loss. Similarly, if one power supply is removed from the Chassis, the chassis will continue to function.

? ?

Protection System –

The power of each converter bay comes from the two shared power supplies. Each bay is isolated from the others under a certain protection mechanism, so that it is free from any problem that might occur to the power supplies or faulty converter bay.

This is the best solution to protect your investment in media converters.

48 volt DC to DC Power Supply.

10

The chassis system is equipped with one power supply and you can install one additional power supply for redundancy.

For reliable operation, we suggest that you run the chassis system with two power supplies.

Step 1: Connect the supplied AC power cord to the back of the chassis.

Step 2: Attach the plug into a standard AC outlet with a voltage range from

100~240Vac.

Step 3: Turn on the chassis system by flipping the switch beside the power cord receptacle to ON position. The Power LED on the front panel will come on.

.

Installing and Removing the Power Supply

?? To remove a power supply, loosen the two thumbscrews by turning them counter clockwise and then pull out the power supply from the chassis.

??

To install a power supply to the chassis, align the power supply’s bottom plate with the guides on the chassis, slide in the power supply to the chassis, and then tighten the thumbscrews by turning them clockwise.

Attention!

fasten or loose the hand screw clockwise or counter clockwise by using hand or screwdriver.

When mounting the Chassis on a sturdy flat surface,

11

attached the rubber foot on the bottom of the Chassis (one at each

corner) and then place the Chassis on the flat surface.
