  • Page 25: Electrical Supply Installation

    C H A P T E R Electrical Supply Installation This chapter provides information about the Netra ft 1800 system switches and the installation of the electrical supply. The Netra ft 1800 has six power input feed pairs, three for each side, which plug in to the back of the system.
  • Page 26: Dc Source Site Requirements

    The system does not contain any integral circuit breakers. The only means of isolating the system from power is by means of external circuit breakers, to be provided by the user. Note – The system On and Stby switches handle low voltage signals only; the high- power circuits do not pass through these switches.

    Required Connection Materials DC branch circuits: The required number of field wiring kits are supplied in the shipkit with each system, according to configuration. Grounding: One Thomas & Betts two-hole lug (part number: 54204-UB) suitable for 8 AWG conductor or UL/CSA approved equivalent having 5/8-inch pitch; torque value: 3.5 Nm (2.5 lbf/ft) maximum.
  • Page 35: Dual Grounding Environment

    Dual Grounding Environment Caution – To be compatible with grounding environments requiring isolation between logic 0V and chassis ground, the fitted grounding bridge plate must be removed and individual connections made to logic 0V and chassis ground studs. The grounding bridge plate is located on the middle rear left edge of the unit between the motherboards.

  • Page 37 C H A P T E R Rack Mounting Guidelines The Netra ft 1800 can be adapted to fit in standard, commercial 19-inch, 23-inch and metric racks via the use of removable mounting adaptors. The minimum nominal cabinet external dimensions are 600 x 600 x 2100 mm (24 x 24 x 84 inches). If you intend not to use a lifting device for installation, all modules other than the motherboards must be removed from the system prior to lifting.
  • Page 38: Figure 4-1 Eia/Retma Mounting Hole Pattern Dimensions

    An open frame (relay rack) has the advantage that airflow and accessibility become less of a concern. However, typical 5-inch web racks have load capacities of less than 180 kg (400 lb), which is inadequate for the Netra ft 1800 in a dynamic environment, and in general practice is not the type of frame used for computer equipment.
  • Page 39: Figure 4-2 Chassis Mounting Hole Arrangement (All Measurements In Millimeters)

    The tapped mounting holes on the Netra ft 1800 chassis are arranged as shown in FIGURE 4-2 91.5 All holes are 236.5 tapped M5 x 3.5 unless otherwise indicated. 381.5 526.5 671.5 Front of system Rear of system 816.5 983.5 1133.5 1283.5 These four holes...
  • Page 40 Vertical Space Requirements The Netra ft 1800 chassis occupies 33RU (1467 mm / 57.75 inches) of vertical height. If it is intended to fit the Netra ft 1800 into a rack with the red transit plinth in place, then 4RU (178 mm / 7.0 inches) of clearance must be provided at the bottom of the chassis.
  • Page 41 Seismic Applications The Netra ft 1800 has been fully tested to be NEBS Level 3 compliant, which includes operation in Earthquake Zone 4 environments. These tests were performed in a NEBS2000, ETSI Part 3 compliant rack. If you intend to use the Netra ft 1800 System in an environment that may be subject to earthquakes and Earthquake Zone 4 compliance is required, a specialist Earthquake Zone 4 compliant rack needs to be selected and independent tests undertaken to ensure system compliance in these areas.

  • Page 43 C H A P T E R External Connections This chapter describes the various cables and connectors which should be made available in order for the installation to be completed. CAF External I/O Connections The Netra ft 1800 system has the following connectors on each CAF module: Female 25-pole D-type connectors for the system console and modem ports (RS232).

  • Page 45: Table 5-2 Console And Modem Port Parameters

    The connectors have two screw-threaded mounting pillars with 4-40 UNC threads. You should secure the cable headshell in place with the screws engaged in these pillars. If you use a cable headshell without securing the screws, make sure that the pillars do not prevent full engagement of the connector.

  • Page 49 C H A P T E R Cable Management As all I/O cables must be routed from the front of the Netra ft 1800 system, due consideration should be made of the space required within the rack for these cables, as well as the power inlet cables at the rear.
  • Page 50: Figure 6-1 Cable Management Shelf

    Cable Management Shelf The cable management shelf adjacent to the PCI card locations is flexible and can be used in a number of different configurations. The holes are equidistant, and the hooks can be inserted in whatever position is required. The hooks are a firm push-fit into the holes.
  • Page 51: Figure 6-2 Cable Bracket Assembly

    Cable Bracket Assemblies Six cable bracket mounting assemblies are provided with each mounting flange kit. These can be fitted to the mounting flanges to facilitate cable management. Cable Bracket Assembly FIGURE 6-2 The brackets can be fixed to the mounting flanges in the required position, using the same screws that fix the flanges to the rack.
