FiberPlex RMC-3101 - Manual (Page 5)

Getting Started
Initial Inspection
Immediately upon receipt, inspect the shipping container for damage. The container should be retained until
the shipment has been checked for completeness and the equipment has been checked mechanically and
electrically. If the shipment is incomplete, if there is mechanical damage, or if the unit fails to operate notify
FiberPlex and make the shipping materials available for the carrier's inspection.
Chassis Mounting
Mount the empty chassis using fasteners appropriate to your standard 19” rack enclosure. All four (4)
mounting points MUST be utilized. Ensure that there exists adequate clearance for front and rear ventilation.
The chassis should be located in an environment where an ambient temperature between 0° and 50° C can be
maintained.
A typical 78 inch equipment rack should be limited to a maximum of 17 RMC‐2101 chassis. When the model
RMC‐3101 is preferred, then installation of a maximum of 12 units is advised. The worst case heat dissipation
for 17 units is 2.3kW total; forced air rack ventilation is recommended.
Power Requirements & PSM Mounting
The power supply modules (PSM‐2010 / PSM‐3010) accept voltages from 100‐240 VAC, 50/60 Hz. Maximum
power consumption is 125W per module. Although the power supply modules are designed to be hot
swappable, it is optimal practice to insert a module into the chassis prior to the application of AC power. The
power supplies must be installed in the slot left most slot when viewing the insertion end of the respective
model chassis. A secondary redundant power supply may be installed in the next slot to the right.
To access the fuses, disconnect power cord, and remove the power supply unit from the chassis. Replacement
fuses must have the required current rating and must be of the specified type. Use of repaired fuses and/or
bypass of the fuse holders is not recommended and will void the warranty.
The system power requirement for a 17‐unit (maximum) rack configuration is 115 VAC @ 20 Amps; if supplied
with 230 VAC, 10 Amps is required.
