Installation

The iMcV-PSE-MidSpan may be installed into the iMediaChassis series, the IE- MediaChassis or MediaChassis series. Each module will occupy one-slot in the chassis.

NOTE

Due to power limitations in iMediaCenter series chassis, the installation of a PSE-MidSpan into an iMediaCenter chassis is highly discouraged and will void the PSE-MidSpan’s warranty.

It is not recommended that the iMcV-PSE-MidSpan module be installed in an IE-MediaChassis- 1/DC (850-33100). The power source in this chassis is not isolated, and cannot support positive reference ground systems typically used in Telco environments; in addition it can not provide enough power for the module.

To install a module, remove the blank brackets covering the slots (if present) where the module is to be installed by removing the screws on the outside edges of the bracket. Slide the module into the chassis, via the card guides, until the module is seated securely in the connector. Secure the module to the chassis by tightening the captive screw. Save any “blanks” removed during installation for future use should configuration requirements change.

NOTE

A20-slot iMediaChassis should support up to 11 PSE-MidSpans (with AC power) or 9 PSE- MidSpans (with DC power). This limitation applies only to the 20-slot chassis.
