Step 1 – Mount the Panel Bus
1. A panel bus must be installed on each rack where you plan to upgrade shelves. The panel bus allows the
®
imVision controller and iPatch shelves to communicate. Also, the imVision controller supplies power
to the iPatch shelves through the panel bus.
Note: It is recommended the panel bus assembly be mounted on either the outside of the rear flange on
the equipment rack or, if panels/shelves will be used that may block access to it, on the side of the vertical
cable manager next to the rack. The area where the panel bus will be mounted must be free of protrusions,
such as threaded inserts, nuts, and bolts.
2. To mount the panel bus on a rack other than a 7-foot (2.1m) rack or on a rack with a hole pattern other
than the universal hole pattern, contact your local account representative.
3. For detailed instructions to install the panel bus for the rack, see the SYSTIMAX
Installation Instructions (860526839).
Step 2 – Install the imVision
1. An imVision controller must be installed on each rack where you plan to upgrade shelves. The imVision
controller supervises the iPatch panels in the rack and communicates with the iPatch system. For
upgrade applications, we recommend using a imVision controller.
2. For instructions to install and configure the controller, see the SYSTIMAX
Installation Instructions (860526839).
Before upgrading the shelves in the rack, remove power from the imVision controller for the rack.
