MMCR18 Media Converter Chassis Installation Guide Safety Symbols Used in this Document This document uses the following conventions: Note Notes provide additional information. Caution Cautions inform you that performing or omitting a specific action may result in equipment damage or loss of data.
Chapter 1 Overview This chapter provides information about the MMCR18 Media Converter Rack-mount Chassis and contains the following sections: “Introduction” on page 14 “LEDs” on page 17 “Alarm Out Connector on the Fan Unit” on page 18 ...
Figure 1. Full Populated MMCR18 Chassis with Rack-mount Brackets Attached Front Panel Figure 2 shows the front panel of the MMCR18 chassis. Figure 2. MMCR18 Front Panel The LEDs on the front provide information about the status of the system, chassis temperature, power supplies, and fan installed in the rear.
Figure 3. Back Panels Auxiliary Power You must purchase and install the MMCR-PWR-AC or MMCR-PWR-DC power supply unit in the PSU1 slot to use the MMCR18 Supply Slot chassis. The PSU2 slot is for an auxiliary power supply. You can purchase two power supply units and install one in the PSU1 slot and the other in the PSU2 slot.
MMCR18 Media Converter Chassis Installation Guide Fan Unit The MMCR18 chassis is shipped with the MMCR18FAN unit. This unit includes two fans: FAN1 and FAN2, as shown in Figure 4. Figure 4. MMCR18FAN Unit The fan unit maintains operating temperatures by drawing cooling air into the chassis.
Chapter 1: Overview LEDs The MMCR18 chassis have LEDs on the front panel as shown in Figure 5. PSU1 PSU2 FAULT TEMP FAN1 FAN2 Figure 5. LEDs on the Front Panel Table 1 describes the LEDs on the front of the MMCR18 chassis.
Buzzer Note Alert devices are not available from Allied Telesis. The Fan unit does not supply power on the Alarm Out circuit. Instead, the circuit is an on or off dry contact relay. When an alarm condition occurs, the Fan unit changes the circuit from close (on) to open (off). The circuit remains open until the alarm is resolved, at which point the Fan unit automatically closes it again.
Page 19
Chapter 1: Overview The Alarm Out connector is connected to a strobe light. When the temperature of the Fan unit exceeds the maximum operating temperature and stops operating, it changes the circuit from closed to open. This change triggers the strobe light to turn on. When the temperature of the Fan unit goes down to the normal operating range and the Fan unit operates normally, it changes the circuit from open to closed.
