Preliminary Information
Construction of the OpenCom 510
The OpenCom 510 is designed to be
used in 19" rack systems. It com-
prises the following:
■
A 19" mounting frame for the
modules. In a fully configured
system, the following modules
will have been installed (and all
slots will be occupied): 2 power
supply units, 1 control module,
12 interface cards. The interface
cards provide the system ports.
The 19" frame of the
OpenCom 510 is also referred to
as the 1-12 frame (signifying the
number of slots for interface
cards).
■
A backplane. The backplane pro-
vides the sockets for the control
module and the interface cards;
it supplies the modules/cards
with the required power and
system signals.
The OpenCom 510 comes fully as-
sembled. By contrast with other sys-
tems, you will not need to assemble
the frame and backplane yourself.
A power supply unit and the central
control module are built into the
frame before delivery. Interface
cards ordered by the customer must
be installed separately.
Please note: Interface cards may
be installed by qualified personnel
only!
For further information on installing
modules/cards, please refer to

stallation in a 19" Rack starting on
