Configuring and Installing Modules

IMC Networks recommends turning the chassis power off before proceeding.

1. To install an iMcV module, slide the module into the chassis until the

module is firmly seated in the backplane.

2. Secure the module to the chassis by tightening the captive thumb screw on

the iMcV module.

3. Attach the network cables between the iMcV module and other devices that

will be interconnected.

4. Plug the chassis into the AC power source.

Rack Mount Precautions

1. Elevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack

assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may
be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to
installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum
ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.

2. Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such

that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is
not compromised.

3. Mechanical Loading - Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be

such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical
loading.

4. Circuit Overloading - Consideration should be given to the connection of

the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the
circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring.
Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used
when addressing this concern.

5. Reliable Earthing - Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be

maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections
other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power
strips).
