The USF-212S is a low cost and space saving Universal System Frame that can be freely configured. Up to 12 modules can be installed into one USF frame. Dual, redundant power supplies can be configured by adding an optional USF-212PS power unit, improving operation safety.
2. Installing AC Cord Retaining Clip Secure the AC cord with the supplied ladder strap/retaining clip assembly to prevent accidental disconnection from the USF-212S. Installing the clip Wrap the retaining clip around the AC cord (with the anchor of the ladder strap toward the unit). Insert the anchor into the hole next to the AC IN socket.
Lower the environmental temperature to continue operation. FAN1 Cooling fans. Operation status can be monitored by Web GUI Status FAN2 Tab. Refer to Sec.10-1. “Status Tab.” FAN3 DC 1 and DC 2 become functional when a USF-212PS power supply option is installed.
4-2. Opening the Front Panel IMPORTANT The front panel may be difficult to open if the USF frame is placed on a desk, and may be damaged if it is forced to open. Perform the following steps after setting the frame in a rack Loosen the two thumbscrews on the front panel by turning them counterclockwise.
4-3. Detaching the Front Panel Fully draw out the front panel. The front panel can be detached by gently pushing both rails inward. NOTE Handle the front panel carefully so as not to bend the rails. IMPORTANT After the front panel is installed, the ALARM LED on the front panel will light in the following order.
DC power supply shutting down if either power unit fails. The dedicated and optional USF-212PS power supply units are the same configuration, and can be exchanged. Refer to Sec. 7. "Installing or Removing a Redundant Power Supply Unit”...
Stand by power is activated in the USF-212S power supply unit when the AC cable is inserted. When the front switch of the USF-212PS Power Supply unit is turned off, the DC supply to USF-212S is disconnected. Redundant operation is available by installing an optional USF-212PS power supply unit.

5. USF Module Installation USF Modules can be installed into any free slot. If multiple free slots exist, do not install modules side-by-side but leave slots open to prevent overheating and facilitate signal connection from the rear panel. NOTE USF Modules come as front and rear sets.
5-2. Installing a USF Front Module IMPORTANT Make sure to install the front module after installing the rear module. Slot 1 is the top slot in the right block of the front panel. Refer to Sec. 4-5. "Slot Number” Set the front module on the guide rail and carefully insert the front module slowly. PCB Guide Rail Locations PCB Guide Rail PCB Guide Rail...
6. Replacing a USF Module Follow the procedure described below to remove and replace a defective USF Module. Since no electrical components are mounted on most USF rear modules, it is possible to recover proper operation by replacing front modules. NOTE When both front and rear module are to be replaced, make sure to replace the rear module after pulling out the front module.
To avoid electric shock, make sure to ground the grounding terminal before operation or pull out the AC cable from the outlet. A USF-212PS redundant power supply unit can be installed while the power is on, although the (main) USF-212S power supply should normally be turned off when doing so. To install or remove a power supply unit while the power is on, open the front panel.
7-2. Removing a Power Supply Unit The procedure for removing a USF-212PS from the PS1 SLOT is explained as an example. Open the front panel. Refer to Sec. 4-2 "Opening the Front Panel.” Shut down the Power Supply 1. Unplug the AC cable of Power Supply 1 from the back side. Refer to Sec. 2 "Installing the AC Cord Retaining Clip”...

9. Control via Web GUI USF-212S operation can be monitored by a web browser or SNMP Manager via a PC-network connection. Power supply, fan, and temperature states can be displayed by opening the USF-212S Web GUI from a web browser. Control and monitoring of the modules (*1) installed in USF-212S can be done via Web GUI.
9-1-2. LAN A Port LAN A port functions via the built-in USF-212S router. Therefore, LAN A can display respective modules states via Web GUI and SNMP monitor with one IP address assigned for respective modules IP addresses. When building a large scale system with multiple USF-212S units, you can reduce the number of IP addresses.
10. USF-212S Web GUI Module status web browser display settings are different between LAN1, 2 and LAN A. Displaying the web browser from LAN 1 and LAN 2 Open the web browser on the PC connected to LAN 1 and LAN 2, then input the address http://192.168.0.10/ (factory default setting).
