4.0 INSTALLATION
This section describes the functions of the Model 1001R14 rack
chassis, tells how to install front and rear Model 2715RC cards into the
chassis, and provides diagrams for wiring the interface connections
correctly.
4.1 THE MODEL 1001R14 RACK CHASSIS
The Model 1001R14 Rack Chassis (Figure 6, below) has fouteen
device card slots, plus its own power supply. Measuring only 3.5” high,
the Model 1001R14 is designed to occupy only 2U in a 19” rack.
Sturdy front handles allow the Model 1001R14 to be extracted and
transported conveniently.
4.1.1 THE RACK POWER SUPPLY
The power supply included in the Model 1001R14 rack uses the
same mid-plane architecture as the modem cards. The front card of
the power supply slides in from the front, and the rear card slides in
from the rear. They plug into one another in the middle of the rack.
The front card is then secured by thumb screws and the rear card by
conventional metal screws.
The Power Supply On and Off
When plugged in, a red front panel + 12V LED will glow. Since
the Model 1001R14 is a “hot swappable” rack,
it is not necessary for
any cards to be installed before installing the power supply
.
NOTE:
Please refer to the Model 1001R14 Series User Manual
AC
and DC Rack Mount Power Supplie
s for fuse and power card
replacement information.
4.2 INSTALLING THE MODEL 2715RC INTO THE CHASSIS
The Model 2715RC 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 2715RC 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 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.
NOTE:
Since the Model 1001R14 chassis allows “hot swapping”
of cards, it is
not necessary to power down
the rack when you
install or remove a Model 2715RC.
4.3 V.35 TERMINAL CONNECTION
The M/34 female connector of the Model 1000RCM13448C rear
card is configured as DCE (see the wiring diagram in
Appendix C
). To
connect to a V.35 DTE device, use a
straight-through
M/34 cable.
