IMPORTANT! Cleaning the Acrylic Surface An acrylic surface is a beautiful, lustrous material that is outstanding in durability and break resistance. With proper care, it will retain its attractive appearance for many years to come. This care should include precautions against scratching or contact with objects of high temperature that might mar the surface.

Rear view of the Rear view of the SPS-400 unit SPS-180 unit The D-5.1 control surface is powered by an SPS-180, SPS-400 or SPS-40 power supply installed in a Wheatstone Model PSR rackmount If failsafe redundant sup- plies have been ordered, unit.
BOTH rackmount supplies powered up and connected to their associ- ated equipment. Energizing Assuming the D-5.1 control surface mainframe is properly placed, and its PSR power supply (or supplies) correctly rackmounted and connected to the control surface, you may now energize the PSR rackmount power supply by plugging it into the AC mains.
G E N E R A L I N F O R M A T I O N I/O Connections All user wiring to and from the D-5.1 control surface is made via connectors located on the control surface’s rear panel. There are two RJ-45 connectors for main and failsafe ethernet connections.

Keyboard, floppy controller and video ports are for factory use only. The purpose of the host controller is to provide control of the D-5.1 control surface. The HC-5.1 communicates to the XPoint Configuration PC via TCP/ IP over Ethernet through a standard ethernet hub or switch. It also communi- cates to the Bridge Router system via a special mixer link connection.

Optical Fiber Interface The D-5.1 control surface supports an optional fiber con- nection to the Bridge Router. The D-5.1 surface uses an SFP module interface with integral LC connectors. Note that the QOT-2001 rear panel on the Bridge router uses SC connec- tors, so a patch cable fitted with LC connectors on one end and SC connectors on the other end is required.
