About the iMediaChassis/20
The iMediaChassis/20 is a modular chassis platform designed for use with IMC
Networks’ SNMP-manageable series of modules. The iMediaChassis/20 is a 3U high,
rack mountable chassis that features 20 slots for installing application series modules
plus an additional slot for installing an SNMP management module. Each
iMediaChassis/20 includes a redundant AC power supply. Power supplies are user-
replaceable and hot-swappable.
SNMP Management Modules include two twisted pair ports, one for management
and one reserved for future use. The management module also features a DB-9 serial
port, and supports SNMP V1/V2c.
Installing the iMediaChassis/20
Before installing any modules into an iMediaChassis/20, install the chassis first. When
installing the chassis, be sure to observe the following precautions to prevent
electrical or mechanical damage:
•
Stay within the chassis’ power rating to prevent overload of supply circuits or
damage to any overcurrent protection and supply wiring.
•
Maintain reliable earth ground, especially when connecting to a power strip
instead of directly to a branch circuit.
•
Protect the chassis from exposure to sunlight and electrical or magnetic fields.
•
Ensure that the equipment rack remains stable, even with the addition of the
chassis and its associated cabling.
To install an 20-slot rack mount chassis, have four #10 screws and four clip nuts
available (hardware may vary depending on rack type). The rest of the hardware is
supplied with the unit.
First, locate a suitable location in the rack for installation and secure the clip-nuts
onto the mounting rails. Use screws to attach the chassis to the rack. Finally, plug
the chassis into a reliable, filtered power source.
Installing Modules
To install a module, remove the blank bracket (if present) covering the slot where the
module will be installed. Slide the module into the chassis using the card guides, and
secure the module to the chassis by tightening the captive screw. Each module slot
provides 1.5 Amps, which is enough power to accommodate most any type of
application modules. Refer to the documentation shipped with the module for
configuration information.
