Maintenance and Modifications
Removing and Installing an I/O Board or Blank Panel
W
The FOX 4G Matrix 14400 fiber optic I/O boards output continuous invisible
light, which may be harmful and dangerous to the eyes; use with caution.
•
Do not look
into the rear panel fiber optic cable connectors or into the
fiber optic cables themselves.
•
Plug the attached dust caps into the optical transceivers when the fiber
optic cable is unplugged.
Circuit boards can be replaced for fault correction. They can be added or removed
to increase or decrease the I/O configuration (size) of the FOX 4G Matrix 14400.
N
As factory configured, the fiber optic I/O boards are configured as either
100 percent singlemode or 100 percent multimode, but you can remove a fiber
optic transceiver module (one input and one output) of one transmission mode
and replace it with a module of the other transmission mode.
You can mix transmission mode transceiver modules on a fiber optic I/O board,
provided that you ensure that each fiber cable and connected devices are the
appropriate transmission mode for the transceiver module.
Typically, singlemode fiber cable has a yellow jacket and multimode cable has an
orange jacket.
N
Unlike the FOX 500 transmitters and receivers
, which output an optical
stream on one connector in a block and receive a return optical stream on the
second connector in the same block, the fiber optic I/O board uses one connector
on the block as an input and the second connector on the same block as a separate
output.
N
For proper cooling and air flow, boards and/or blank panels should be installed in
all locations during normal switcher operations.
See figure 6-1. Each I/O board is identified by the input and output numbers
supported by the board position, which are printed on the side of the fan
modules (1 - 16, 17 - 32, and so on). The transceiver modules on fiber optic
I/O boards are identified as A through P.

Figure 6-1 — Arrangement of inputs and outputs on the I/O boards
Locations A through P correspond to the transceiver modules. Each module,
numbered from left to right, includes one of the outputs and one of the inputs
supported by the board. (For example, the input and output numbers supported
by the I/O board in location 33 - 48 are as follows: A = 33, B = 34, C = 35, D = 36,
E = 37, F = 38, G = 39, H = 40, I = 41, J = 42, K = 43, L = 44, M = 45, N = 46, O = 47,
and P = 48.)
N
The output on the transceiver module is to the
left
of the input.
