Installation

The XP4400 features a front panel LCD display for easy system configuration
and identification. Display system connection information, check the hardware
and firmware revision of your modules or troubleshoot system errors all from
an easy-to-use menu.
LEDs on the XP4400's front panel let you monitor system power and error
status at a glance. The red LED blinks when a problem is detected, then goes to
solid when the problem is acknowledged. The LED will remain lit until the
problem is resolved, or begin blinking again if a new problem is discovered.
As with all XP4000 Series products, the XP4400 is FLASH upgradeable.
FLASH technology allows you to upgrade the XP4400's firmware without
removing modules or powering down the system. New firmware revisions are
uploaded into the XP4400 via the serial port on the front panel or through
standard XP4000 Series serial connections. All advanced serial port operations
available through the host unit are also possible through the XP4400 serial port.
The power supplies, fan assemblies and the transmitter/receiver modules in the
XP4400 are all hot swappable. The ability to remove and replace components
without powering down the system or attached servers, means that maintenance
can be performed during business hours without interrupting system users.
The power supplies for your XP4400 are shipped uninstalled to prevent damage.
As a result, the first step in installing your expansion unit will be to assemble
the chassis.
Assembling the XP4400 Chassis
1) Locate the power supplies and remove them from their packaging.
2) Make sure that the power supplies are disconnected from the wall and
their power switches are in the 'OFF' position.
3) Gently slide the power supplies into their mounting brackets on the left
side of the XP4400 unit.
4) Connect a power cord to each of the power supplies and then to an
outlet. Switch on both of the power supplies and verify that the fan
modules work.
Configuring the Transmitter and Receiver Modules
5) Next you will need to configure the DIP switches on your Transmitter
Module. The XP4400 supports connections for 16 pairs of Category 5
cables. These ports are numbered 1 - 16 from left to right on the TX44
Transmitter Module. Each of these ports has three dip switches that
configure the port for the length of the Category 5 cable that is attached
to it.
