Common Issues and Things to Check

See page 30 for fan speed and alarm configuration settings needed for PM-FAN-5 modules.
There are no configuration settings needed for PM-FAN-8, PT-FAN-14, or PT-FAN-16
modules.
Each Platinum frame is shipped fully populated (based on customer's configuration) and
pre-configured from our manufacturing facility.
The Platinum system can be installed anywhere within a routing system and can be
controlled in a variety of ways. Because the flexibility of the Platinum setup allows for many
possible configurations, the installation procedures will depend on the desired configuration
and system design. General installation procedures are outlined below.
Install the Platinum frame in a restricted access area, so that only qualified personnel have
access to it.
An optional Platinum support tray may be purchased to make installation easier.
Lift the Platinum frame into place and install rack screws.
Use power cords of adequate wire gauge when connecting the Platinum frame to the
facility's electrical power source.
Platinum frames labeled to operate on 100 to 240 VAC should be connected using AC

power cords that are no smaller than 14 gauge.
Platinum frames labeled to operate from -40 to -60 VDC should be connected using

cables no smaller than 12 gauge with ring terminals attached to the terminal blocks.
DC Platinum frames should be grounded using eight-gauge stranded copper wire
crimped to the dual lug compression terminal provided on the frame.
Verify serial port settings from card edge control (defaults are 38400, n, 8,1)

Verify IP address settings (double-check subnet mask)

Verify that all modules are properly seated

Reseat modules when in doubt! Confirm that the card-edge LED for ACT-CTL

eventually turns green
Verify that a valid X-Y signal is attached to X-Y ports on the router (not Sync), and that

a valid Sync is connected to the Sync connectors
Verify correct termination (75) on Sync and X-Y lines

Verify state of Safe Hub mode on X-Y bus (this may be disabling second port)

Confirm that all power supplies are cabled, turned on, and functional

Confirm version of Platinum firmware on the resource module
