Installing the LCU

Each ROME Chassis is controlled by an LCU. The LCU install kit includes the LCU, a signaling cable to attach to
the ROME Chassis, and a ground cable. One (1) RU of space above the LCU is recommended to allow adequate
space for connecting the LCU control and ground cable.
Installing the LCU involves the following steps:

1. Mounting the LCU

2. Connecting Cables (signalling and ground)
3. Powering up ROME
5.1 Mounting the LCU
The LCU mounting kit comes with two L-brackets which are attached to the front of the LCU chassis, and a
1RU cantilever tray that is mounted on the rear post to support the LCU chassis. To install the LCU, mount the
cantilever tray on the rear of the four post rack. Slide the LCU into the tray, and attach the LCU to the front of
the rack.
The LCU should be installed on top of the ROME chassis.
5.2 Connecting Cables (Signaling and Grounding)
5.2.1 Connecting the Signaling Y Cables
To connect the LCU to the ROME Chassis, the following steps should be taken:
1. Connect the provided LCU to the ROME signaling cable to the LCU output
2. Connect the cable to the back of the corresponding ROME Chassis
The signaling cable from the LCU to the ROME Chassis should be tied down to the rack to organize
the cable. When it is tied down properly, the cable should have enough slack to allow ROME
Chassis to slide out for maintenence.
The signaling cable from the LCU to the ROME Chassis should be secured to the rack. Enough slack
should be allow to fully extend the ROME Chassis out for maintenance.
