Note
When you receive your Lightning system, inspect the shipping cartons for
signs of physical damage. Contact your dealer and the shipper immediately
if you suspect any damage has occurred during shipping. Check the
contents of each box to be sure that all parts are included. If any items are
missing, contact your dealer immediately. After unpacking all equipment,
please save the packing materials for future shipping convenience.
Install the Lightning chassis in an equipment rack with adequate room and
ventilation. Use the supplied rack rails and mounting hardware.
Note that Lightning requires 7.0 inches of vertical space (4RU). If possible,
provide 1 RU (rack unit) of space above the Lightning chassis.
• Do not obstruct the front air vents or block the rear fan. This
will ensure optimum air flow and maximum chassis cooling.
• Provide a sufficient service loop for all rear chassis power and
video cables. Keep in mind that the rear chassis panel is
hinged, and drops down to reveal the backplane and associated
internal connectors.
This section provides step-by-step instructions for connecting video,
control, power, and communication signals.
• Refer to the Chassis Rear Panel Components section for an
illustration of all rear chassis connectors.
Refer to the Chassis Backplane Components section for an
•
illustration of all backplane connectors.
If your hardware is not already rack-mounted, refer to the Installing
Hardware section for details.
Connect all required signals as outlined in the following sections.
