Page 5: Preface
Preface Target Audience The target audience for this guide is the user who has taken delivery of a packaged Clavister SC6300 Series Chassis and going through the installation phase. The guide takes the user from unpacking and installation to power-up and initial network connection.
Page 6: Installation Overview
Chapter 1: Installation Overview The ATCA SC6300 Series Chassis is a high performing, modular, chassis based computing platform designed for the unique requirements of performance critical environments such as the telecom industry, service providers, the financial sector and data centers. This manual discusses chassis installation as well as installation of the SF6090 Switch Fabric Blade.
Page 7 Chapter 1: Installation Overview below: • Products contains static-sensitive components and should be handled with care. Failure to employ adequate anti-static measures can cause irreparable damage to components. • Handle the product only when wearing a grounded wrist strap at a grounded work area. •...
Page 8: Unpacking
Use either an ESD wrist strap, or ESD heel straps on a conductive floor surface, as you open the packaging. Remove the SC6300 Series Chassis from its packaging and place it so the slots are oriented horizontally and right side up.
Page 9 Chapter 2: Unpacking Warning Operating damaged equipment can harm the chassis and the devices that interface with it.
Page 10: Site Preparation
60 VDC @ 40 A -60 V 80 VDC @ 40 A The SC6300 Series Chassis requires at least 5 centimetres (2 inches) of unobstructed clearance at the side air inlets and outlets to ensure sufficient airflow for the individual blades.
Page 11: Rack Mounting
Chapter 4: Rack Mounting The SC6300 Series Chassis can be placed on a flat surface, such as a table, or mounted in a rack. For mounting in a rack, there are two stages: A. Rack preparation. B. Chassis installation. A. Rack Preparation...

Chapter 4: Rack Mounting Figure 4.1. Blade Ejector Latch Open Position • Remove and place each blade in a separate anti-static bag or on a grounded surface. Do not stack the blades on top of each other. When handling the blades, follow the ESD precautions described above.
Page 13: Front Blade Installation
Chapter 5: Front Blade Installation This section dicusses the general installation steps for the front blades in the SC6300 Series Chassis. A detailed description for the installation of SFBs can be found in Chapter 6, SF6090 Switch Fabric Blade Installation. A detailed description for how to install different processor blades can be found in the separate manuals for each blade type.

Chapter 5: Front Blade Installation Figure 5.1. Blade Ejector Latch Closed Position If a blade mates with a rear transition module, confirm that the rear transition module's zone 3 connection is located at the rear of the slot before installing the blade. Install front and rear air management filler panels into any empty slots: •...
Page 15: Sf6090 Switch Fabric Blade Installation
Installation Prerequisites This section describes the specific installation of the SF6090 Switch Fabric Blade (SFB) into the SC6300 Series Chassis. Correct installation will require the following: • A 9-pin D-shell to RJ-45 serial port cable (shipped with the SFB). •...
Page 16 A list of tested and qualified transceivers and filler plugs can be supplied by Clavister Transceiver Installation SFP and XFP transceivers can be installed on the SFB at any time, but Clavister recommends performing the installation before the SFB is installed in the chassis.
Page 17 Chapter 6: SF6090 Switch Fabric Blade Installation Figure 6.2. Correct Transceiver Insertion The illustration above shows the correct orientation for inserting SFP transceivers. The SFP you use may vary in appearance depending on manufacturer, but the same insertion guidelines, listed below, should be followed. Use the same guidelines when inserting XFP transceivers as well.
Page 18 SFB. Additional filler plugs can be ordered from the applicable manufacturer. For a list of tested and qualified transceivers and filler plugs, contact Clavister. Install fillers plugs using the insertion guidelines described below: A.
Page 19 Open both ejector latches outward. Figure 6.5. SFB Latch Open Position Slide the SFB into one of the hub slots on the chassis. The hub slots for the SC6300 Series Chassis are numbers 1 and 2. If correctly aligned, the edges of the SFB will fit within the narrow guide rails of the chassis.
Page 20 Chapter 6: SF6090 Switch Fabric Blade Installation installation has failed. Secure the SFB in its slot by hand tightening the two fastening screws on each end of the blade's front panel. Repeat these steps if you are installing a second SFB in the remaining hub slot. Installing two SFBs on the chassis allows for redundancy which is a means of providing continuous system functionality even if a failure occurs on one of the SFBs.

Page 26: Connecting Power
• If you are installing an AC to DC power supply for the system, install it before connecting the power-feed cables. Installation for the optional Clavister AC to DC power component is described in Chapter 8, The Power Enclosure. •...
Page 27 Chapter 7: Connecting Power • Use a high-quality return and safety ground cable, no smaller than #8 AWG stranded for -48 V. • Use two 10-32 x 3/8" pan head screws. The torque should be between 2.8 and 3.4 Nm (25 and 30 lbf-in).
Page 28 Chapter 7: Connecting Power connector posts on the PEM. Set the nuts and washers aside. 10. Connect the power-feed cables (with Panduit connector P/N LCAX8-14-L or equivalent) to the appropriate connectors. Check the labels next to the connectors for polarity. 11.
Page 29: The Power Enclosure
Chapter 8: The Power Enclosure The SC6300 Series Chassis 1U Power Enclosure is an optional unit for providing DC power to the SC6300 Series Chassis. This chapter describes how to install the 1U power enclosure and the AC power supplies for the chassis.
Page 30 Chapter 8: The Power Enclosure Warning Failure to follow recommendations below may cause personal injury or damage electronic equipment. An electrical voltage of up to 75 VDC may be present at any power connection. Unpacking The 1U power enclosure and the DC cables are shipped together in in the same box. The power supplies and the AC power cords may be packed separately.
Page 31 Chapter 8: The Power Enclosure Loosen the screws on the DC cable connector on the back of the power enclosure. This opens the slots where the cables will be inserted. Insert the stripped end of the cables into the slots that match their polarity. The red cables typically go into the top slot and the black cables typically go into the bottom slot.
