Powering up Your 1001R14 Rack
The power supplies that come with your 1001R14 rack system are
equipped with a power entry connector on the rear power supply card.
The power supplies are Hot-Swappable , so you are not required to
remove the cards from the rack while applying power to the system.
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 INTERFACE DRIVER BOARD
The DTE electrical interface on the 2701RC is determined by a
DTE daughter board that is mounted on the main board by a 20 pin
jumper. Figure 10 shows the Interface Driver Board on the top of the
2701RC main board.

Follow the instructions below to install or change the correct inter-
face for your application.
1.
With the 2701RC front card pulled out of the rack chassis,
locate the driver board on top of the 2701RC front card.
2.
Lift the interface drive board gently off the main PC board.

3.
Locate the correct interface on the bottom of the driver board.
For example, the RS-232/V.35 interface board is marked
THIS SIDE UP FOR V.35 on one side and THIS SIDE UP
FOR RS-232 on the other side. Other single interface
boards (e.g. RS-530) are marked with the with FRONT on
one side of the board.
4.
Re-orient the interface board into the socket with the appropri-
ate interface pointed UP and with the arrow pointing toward
the front panel of the Model 2701RC pc board.
5.
Push the Interface Driver Board gently onto the socket and re-
install into the 1001 rack.
4.3 INSTALLING THE MODEL 2701RC INTO THE CHASSIS
The Model 2701RC 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 2701RC 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 2701RC.
4.4 CONNECTING TO A DTE DEVICE
The serial port on most rear interface cards are hard-wired as
DCE (Data Circuit Terminating Equipment). The interfaces are
designed to plug into a DTE such as a terminal, PC or host computer.
When making the connection to your DTE device, use a straight
through cable of the shortest possible length--we recommend 6 feet or
less. When purchasing or constructing an interface cable, please refer
to the pin diagrams in Appendix D and Appendix E as guides.
