Installing the Frame, Hazardous Voltages

Installing the Frame

The 8310 frame mounts in the rack frame by means of four rack screws fastened through the front mounting flanges. This should normally be sufficient to carry the load, including the weight of accompanying cables. However, in certain applications such as mobile truck installations, it may be desirable to also support the rear of the frame. The optional FSB-8310 Rear Support Bars and Brackets are specifically engineered to compensate for extra load stress. Refer to the section “Installing the Rear Support Bars and Brackets” of this manual for installation instructions. The Ordering Information section at the end of this manual provides contact information for acquiring this equipment.

Note the following installation requirements:

•Rack Units: 2 RU

•Height: 3.5 inches (8.89 cm)

•Depth: 15.625 inches (40 cm)

•Rack: standard 19 inch wide equipment rack

Install the frame for maximum stability during operation and in such a way as to allow adequate ventilation. Ensure that adequate space exists behind the frame and on the right side of the frame for airflow exhaust. The location of the frame should be accessible, dry, and dust free.

Power Supply PS-8300 and Power Cable

The 8310 comes standard with one PS-8300 power supply, with a second optional power supply available for redundancy. For redundancy, and in applications where the equipment is used in a critical signal path, we recommend that two power supplies be used in the 8310 frame. One A/C power cable has been provided with each power supply ordered.

For further redundancy, each power cord should be connected to a separate power source for protection against failure of the A/C power circuit. Reliability will also be improved when using redundant supplies as each supply shares the load. In the event of one power supply failure, card power is seamlessly transferred to the other redundant power supply. Although the power supply is "hot- swappable," turning the power supply off before inserting or removing it from the frame will increase the lifespan of the connectors.

Installing the Frame Power Supply

The power supply plugs into the right-hand section of the chassis. The universal power supply supports all worldwide AC power voltages, and no power adjustments are required. The secondary (redundant) power supply, if ordered, is already installed in the frame.

Use the following procedure to install the power supply:

Warning

Hazardous

Voltages

1.Carefully unpack the power supply from its box, and retain all packing material for future use, if required.

2.Align the power supply into an unused power slot on the right side of the frame.

3.Push the power supply in firmly to ensure a tight connection at the rear of the frame.
