CHAPTER 1: PRODUCT DESCRIPTION PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Product Description The MPAC and MPDC are modular power supplies that supply the required +24 VDC to the MAXNET II Active Chassis back plane. This allows any MAXNET II active module (RPR’s, FPT’s, AMP’s, RF switcher) to be installed in any remaining active chassis slot to receive power.
CHAPTER 1: PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 1.1. Functional Diagrams ATTENTION: NOT A UNIVERSAL VOLTAGE INPUT ! REFER TO ORDERING INFORMATION FOR DETAILS AC Power Supply FUSE FUSE 110 or POWER SUPPLY +24V 220 VAC MODULE 6.3A (3.15A for 220V) 250V 250V +24V (REAR) CHASSIS COMM.
CHAPTER 2: INSTALLATION INSTALLATION Installation 2.1. Product Inspection Carefully unpack the power supply module from the shipping box. If the box or power supply module is damaged, please notify the freight company to make a damage claim. If you suspect that there is a problem with the power supply module that may affect it’s safe operation, do not install such a suspect Power Supply into the Active MAXNET II Chassis.
CHAPTER 2: INSTALLATION MPDC MPAC-110 / MPAC-220 Figure #3: Front & Rear Panel Pictures 2.3. DC Redundant Powering of Active MAXNET II Chassis ® If more than one power supply is connected to the chassis, the extra power supply acts as a redundant source of power. Using internal logic within the module (MPAC uses diode steering, MPDC uses load sharing logic) if the main power supply on the chassis fails, the other power supply becomes the active supplier to the +24 VDC chassis bus rail ensuring power is always maintained to all active modules in the chassis.
CHAPTER 2: INSTALLATION 2.5. Module Power Requirements Module Max Current (A) 0.29 0.52 0.46 0.29 0.52 0.03 0.14 0.47 0.52 2.6. LED Indicators The MPAC and MPDC power supply module have two LED indicators: PWR and ALM. The PWR (Power) LED verifies, by lighting solid green, that the power supply is supplying 24 VDC powering to the active MAXNET II chassis.

The 3rd party interface is recommended only for systems that have an existing SNMP architecture. All MIBs (Management Information Bases) are freely downloadable from the SCTE (www.scte.org/standards). ATX was able to support all modules using the SCTE standard HMS MIBs, so no custom MIBs are required.
If you are updating a version prior to 1.4.2, then the calculated MD5 Checksum will be displayed on the screen. Contact Engineering at ATX to verify what this value should be (it will be the same for each chassis you upgrade with a given revision).
Status Monitoring Features 4.1. SNMP Parameters Display Name Description HMS MIB Variable ATX model number (note, in empty slots you can enter Model passive, dual-passive, or empty to populate the overview entPhysicalModelName page with passive picture placeholders). Description Description of the module.
If the red LEDs return to normal operation, then the problem is in actual slot of the chassis and likely the connector on the back rail is damaged. Contact ATX and report a defective chassis. If this does not fix the problem then contact ATX and report a defective module. 5.2.2. Chassis’ Yellow COM LED Not Blinking It is normal for the round LED near the RJ45 port at the rear of the chassis to be solid ON or OFF during various states of system boot-up.

Remove the suspect module and trade slot positions with another functioning module. If the suspect module is okay and the previously good module fails, contact ATX and report a defective chassis. If the suspect module fails and the previously good module is okay, contact ATX and report that the suspect module is defective.

CHAPTER 6: SERVICE & SUPPORT Recommended external fusing of the MPDC supply to be limited to 10 Amps. The MPAC-110 Power Supply receptacle fuse rating is 6.3 Amps 250 Volts slo blo. The MPAC-220 Power Supply fuse rating is 3.15 Amps 250 Volt slo blo. CAUTION: For continued protection against the risk of fire, replace only with the same type and rating of fuse.
