30 Kalypso Reference Manual
Section 1 — System Overview
The Local Aux panel is generally installed directly above the left side of the
Main panel so the Source Select buttons are aligned, though it can be
mounted in any convenient location.
If the Emergency Bypass option is installed, a redundant power supply for
the Local Aux panel is available to ensure bypass operation even if the
Main panel loses power.
Power Cabling
The Local Aux bus is normally powered from the Main panel. The Local
Aux panel can also accept a redundant power source, and/or be powered
separately from the Main panel using the same model optional power
supply available for the Menu panel (see
Figure 12 on page 28 ).
Removable Media Drives
Different Removable Media Drives are provided, depending on Kalypso
model. Late model Kalypso systems ship with a USB 250 MB Zip drive that
connects to the Menu panel, and a CD-ROM drive built into the Menu
panel. If the Enhanced Menu panel Flush Mount kit is specified, an external
USB CD-ROM drive is included.
Early model Kalypso systems shipped with three removable media drives
which connect to the Main panel. Included are a SCSI CD-ROM drive, a 250
MB Zip drive (which is connected to the SCSI chain via the CD-ROM), and
a standard 1.4 MB 3.5 in. floppy disk drive. The floppy drive is mounted in
the Main panel tub and is not intended for routine user access.
2-M/E Main Panel
The 2-M/E Main panel is similar to the 4-M/E panel ( Figure 15 ). Instead of
3 M/Es and a PGM PST, the 2-M/E Main panel has one M/E bank and one
PGM PST bank, though three M/Es and PGM PST are accessible via dele-
gation. Local Aux Bus control capabilities are also built in as a subpanel.
