  • Page 21: Introduction

    Introduction Unit Description IQH4B enclosures offer industry leading, high-density delivery of modular solutions. With up to 700W of module power available, this 4U rack unit enclosure accepts up to 20 modules, has dual redundant PSUs and in-service replaceable cooling fans. Analog reference signals can be distributed through the enclosures via 2 connections that can be independently selected by the installed modules.

  • Page 22: Rear Panel View

    Rear Panel View The IQH4B enclosure rear panel, without modules, is shown below. Features The IQH4B modular enclosure provides the following features: • 20 single or 10 double width modules (or any combination). • Integrated web browser based RollCall configuration and control.

  • Page 25: Installation

    Note: When the unit is supplied fitted with two power supplies, ensure that both power supplies are installed correctly and power up successfully. Shipping Bar In order to prevent power supplies and modules from being dislodged in transit, the IQH4B is shipped with a retaining bar in place: Shipping Shipping bar fitted for transit Ensure that this shipping bar is removed before the enclosure is powered up.

  • Page 26: Environment

    Transporting the Enclosure If the enclosure is to be transported, ensure that the shipping bar is refitted in order to prevent internal components from shifting and causing damage. Environment Although constructed to meet the normal environmental requirements, it is important that there is a free flow of air at the front and rear to dissipate the heat produced during operation.

  • Page 27: Front Panel Indicator

    Each IEC connector supplies an independent feed of power to each of the two power supply modules as shown in the diagram above. As a redundancy option, the IQH4B enclosure can support two power supplies; however, only one is required.

  • Page 28: Removing The Door

    Removing the Door The IQH4B can be used without the door if required. To remove the door: 1 On the left side of the unit, looking from the front, locate the spring-loaded door release pin: Release 2 Push the pin in and disengage the door: 3 Move the door to the left to disengage the right-hand hinge, and remove the door.

  • Page 29: Rollnet

    IQH4B User Manual RollNet The BNC connector enables the unit to be connected to the RollCall network communications system. The RollCall system should be connected using a 75 Ohm “T” or “Y” piece, in a similar manner to an “Ethernet” system. Both extremities of the system must be terminated in 75 Ohms.

  • Page 30: Front (Gateway Card) Controls And Leds

    Front (Gateway Card) Controls and LEDs Front Panel connectors, controls and LEDs are provided by the Gateway Card, fitted into a dedicated slot in the IQH4B enclosure. Front Panel Connector This connector connects to the front panel and provides power to the LED on the front panel.

  • Page 31: Leds

    PSUs Gateway Card Module Slots 1 to 20 IQH4B enclosures are designed to accept one or two power supplies with independent IEC320 mains inlets. Individually, each PSU module is capable of powering the frame containing any combination of IQ-1B modules subject to the rules described in Configuration Rules on page 31.

  • Page 32: Installing And Removing Power Supply Units

    Note: Ensure that the mains power connection at the rear of the unit is removed before these operations are attempted. The IQH4B enclosure is provided with two PSUs as standard to allow dual redundant operation. Removing a Power Supply Unit To remove a power supply unit: 1 Open the front door panel.

  • Page 33: Installing And Removing Modules

    The IQH4B Enclosure has 700 Power Rating units available. The Power Ratings of each module should be added together and the total should not exceed 700PR units for the IQH4B. Modules that do not specify a Power Rating should use the total power figure as a power rating value.

  • Page 34: Installing A New Module

    7 Update the Power Rating table. Replacing a Module in a Live Environment Grass Valley recommends that the mains connections are removed before performing the operations described above. However, in a live environment this may not be possible, so the modules are designed to be removed and installed without switching the power off.

  • Page 35: Replacement Of The Cooling Fan Assembly

    User Manual Replacement of the Cooling Fan Assembly The cooling fan assembly is located on the rear panel of the IQH4B enclosure, and can easily be replaced without removing the rack from its mounting position or removing any cable connections.

  • Page 36: Control Panels

    Network bridges can be used to connect each network to up to 15 others, nested up to 4 levels, allowing tens of thousands of networks and millions of units to be joined together. IQH4B enclosures have two interface connections to the RollCall network: • RollNet 75 Ohm coaxial BNC running at 2.5 Mbps.

  • Page 37: Ethernet Connections

    Other IP devices can then connect to the enclosure via TCP/IP. An Ethernet device connected to a single IQ rack has access to all devices on the RollCall network. This interface can be used to connect a PC running RollCall. 75 Ohm Network IQH4B Box Computer 3U Box Ethernet...
  • Page 38 3 Open the Ethernet page and set IP network details as required; appropriate details should be available from local IT departments. See Ethernet on page 46 for more information. Restart the module to apply the changes. Recovering Mis-Configured Systems Although unlikely, it is possible to mis-configure the network IP settings and prevent connection to the Gateway, for instance by setting both Primary and Secondary LANs to use static IP addresses and then saving invalid values.

  • Page 39: Ip Bridging

    IQH4B User Manual 4 To set a static IP address: • Open the appropriate file for the Ethernet interface to be configured, and eth?-dhcp ensure the value is set to 0. Save and close the file. • Open the appropriate...
  • Page 40 RollCall IP -> Connect to RollCall IP -> Connect to It is recommended that Only Accept This Address is checked at both ends to prevent other Gateways from establishing bridge connections, and that Connect Automatically is also checked at both ends, so the bridge is re-connected if it should become disconnected for any reason.

  • Page 41: Operation

    O peration This section of the manual assumes that the IQH4B Enclosure has been installed in accordance with the instructions given in Chapter 3. It describes operation of the unit by means of the RollCall Control Panel software. To fully conform with EMC and Safety standards, modules must be correctly installed in the enclosure.
