OM6062R Installation
ID: 1031-6374, Rev. 1.0 Page 3 - 7
3.4 Mounting
The OM6062R may optionally be supplied with fixed mounting brackets for installation in a sys-
tem cabinet. For cabinets which are wider or higher than the OM6062R, additional mounting
hardware is required which is not supplied with the OM6062R.
For operation of the OM6062R on a flat surface, desktop or rack shelf, there are no special
mounting fixtures except for the four feet. In this case, for operation the front feet should be
extended to ensure adequate airflow to the OM6062R. Care must also be taken to ensure that
OM6062R cannot fall off of the flat surface.
3.5 Adding or Replacing OM6062R Components
Solution requirements determine the operational configuration of the OM6062R. Therefore, it
may or will be necessary to add, remove, or reconfigure components. AMC modules are nor-
mally supplied with documentation which provides instructions or guidelines on their installation
or replacement. Please refer to this documentation for further assistance.
OM6062R specific components, fan and backplane, are not user replaceable. The Power Sup-
ply Unit (PSU), however, is user replaceable.
Replacement of the PSU requires that the main power be removed from the system. Therefore,
it is necessary to ensure that the system is properly prepared for powering down. Once the sys-
tem is powered down, remove the power cable to the PSU, unscrew the retaining screws and
slide it out of the slot. Then install the new PSU, fasten the retaining screws, and reconnect the
main power cable. As required, apply power again to the system.
3.6 Cooling Air Filter Maintenance
The OM6062R is provided with a cooling air filter which is located underneath the fans at the
bottom of the subrack. To gain access to the air filter, unscrew the two Fan Bay front panel
thumbscrews and remove the front panel. The air filter has a grip flange at the front which is
used to extract the filter from the chassis. To inspect, clean, or replace the filter, pull it out of the
chassis using the grip flange.
Typically the air filter should be inspected every three months. As required, it should be cleaned
or replaced. If the system is operated in a dusty, oily, or otherwise contaminated environment
the filter should be inspected at shorter intervals, eventually once a month.
3.7 Use of Third Party MCHs
The OM6062R base configuration foresees the use of Kontron’s AM5901 MCH. If a third party
MCH is to be installed in the system, a compatibility module from Kontron is required or the sys-
tem will not operate. Please contact Kontron for further assistance.
