Switching the Power Supply On and Off
The power switch is located on the front panel. When plugged in
and switched on, a red front panel LED will glow. Since the Model
1000R16 is a "hot swappable" rack,
it is not necessary for any cards to
be installed before switching on the power supply
. The power supply
may be switched off at any time without harming the installed cards.
NOTE: Please refer to the Model 1000RP Series User Manual
AC
and DC Rack Mount Power Supplie s for fuse and power card
replacement information.
4.2 INSTALLING THE MODEL 1092RC SERIES INTO THE CHASSIS
The Model 1092RC Series is comprised of a front card and a rear
card. The two cards meet inside the rack chassis and plug into each
other by way of mating 50 pin card edge connectors. Use the following
steps as a guideline for installing each Model 1092RC Series into the
rack chassis:
1. Slide the rear card into the back of the chassis along the metal
rails provided.
2. Secure the rear card using the metal screws provided.
3. Slide the front card into the front of the chassis. It should
meet the rear card when it’s almost all the way into the
chassis.
4. Push the front card gently into the card-edge receptacle of the
rear card. It should “click” into place.
5. Secure the front card using the thumb screws.
