RCS11 1:1 Redundancy Switch Installation
MN-RCS11 – Revision 9 4–3
4.4 Rack Mounting
To allow for the easy installation of cables and adequate air circulation through the units, a
minimum of six inches of clearance must be provided at the sides and rear of the units. In
addition, the RCS11 requires a minimum of 1¾” (1RU) of clearance on top of the unit.
If the Switch is mounted on slide mounts, the cables must be of sufficient length to allow the units
to be pulled forward on the mounts.
WARNING
If either AC line cord remains connected to the RCS11, dangerous AC
voltages will be present within the Switch. The top cover of the RCS11
should not be removed for any reason other than fuse replacement. Refer
to Section 4, Basic Maintenance and Troubleshooting.
4.5 System Connections
For initial RCS11 setup and configuration, perform the following procedure:
1. Verify that the AC Power Cords to the RCS11 and units to be connected are unplugged.
2. Interconnect the units as shown in the figures below.
3. Attach the AC Power Cords to the RCS11 and the units to be connected.
4. Using the On/Off Switches located on either side of the rear panel of the RCS11, power-
up both redundant power supplies. Power 1 and Power 2 (Green) LEDs should
illuminate.
If BOTH Green LEDs do not illuminate, there is a fault with one of the power supplies.
Refer to Section 6, Maintenance for the appropriate action.
5. Power up the units to be connected. Their Green Power LEDs should illuminate.
If not, refer to the appropriate Installation and Operation manual for further action to
be taken.
6. Proceed to Section 4, User Interface for information on the RCS11 controls and
indicators.
