FS1-X Chassis Installation
The following information will help you install the FS1-X chassis correctly.
Physical
Requirements for
Mounting the
Chassis
You can mount the FS1-X chassis in two ways:
• Rackmounting—attach the FS1-X (rear or front mounted) to a standard 19-inch wide
equipment rack. The chassis occupies only one vertical rack unit.
• Desktop—lay it on a horizontal flat surface.
Chassis Dimensions When planning the equipment location, consider the chassis dimensions:
• Height—1 rack unit, 1.75 inches (4.5 cm)
• Depth—16 inches (40.65 cm)
• Width—17.5 inches (44.45cm)
• Weight—7.85 pounds, 3.56 kilograms
Cabling and Cooling
Requirements
Observe these precautions when placing your FS1-X:
• Plan adequate space for cable routing from the back of the chassis. Ensure that cable
connectors are not stressed and cables are not bent or crimped.
• When rack mounting or stacking multiple FS1-X chassis, ensure adequate airspace for
cooling around the FS1-X units. Note the location of cooling vents on all equipment
next to the FS1-X and ensure none are obstructed.
NOTE: FS1-X units can be stacked vertically without limit as long as there is an adequate supply of
cool air around the FS1-X vents.
Power
Requirements
The FS1-X requires the following input voltage and power.
• Input Voltage—Chassis: autosensing 100VAC to 240VAC, 50/60Hz,
fully redundant with both power supplies diode isolated.
• Power Consumption—55 Watts, 60 Watts with FRC option (70 Watts maximum)
Caution!
Only AJA fiber optic I/O option modules may be inserted into the FS1-X Fiber slots. DO
NOT USE fiber modules from other manufacturers; they will damage the FS1-X
connectors and circuits.
