Installing The Imediachassis/3; Installing Application Modules - IMC Networks iMediaChassis/3 Operation Manual

Installing the iMediaChassis/3

Before installing the application modules into an iMediaChassis/3, install the chassis
first. When installing the chassis, be sure to observe the following precautions to
prevent electrical or mechanical damage:
•
Stay within the chassis power rating to prevent overload of supply circuits or
damage to overcurrent protection and supply wiring.
•
Maintain reliable earth ground, especially when connecting to a power strip
instead of directly to a branch circuit.
•
Protect the chassis from exposure to sunlight and electrical or magnetic fields.
Fault-Tolerant Power
The fault-tolerant powering option applies to units utilizing two power supplies. If
failure occurs on one power supply, the other supply takes over in its place and
carries the power load. Refer to the Power Supply and Temperature Control sections
for wiring, alarm, and Trap information.
The iMediaChassis/3 power supply is not field replaceable.

Installing Application Modules

Refer to the module installation guide for configuration information. To install a
module, remove the faceplate (if present) covering the slot where the module will be
installed. Double-wide modules will occupy two slots. Slide the module into the
chassis using the card guides, and secure the module to the chassis by tightening the
captive screw. Each module slot provides 1.5 Amps. The management slot uses a
connector that is longer than slots 1-3 and should only be used for installing the
management module.
The module hardware configuration that is set using dip switches, is overridden by the
chassis management when the module is installed in a managed chassis.
Use the management software to ensure that the module is properly configured.
