PowerCage 1600 Enclosure • Setup Guide (Continued)

Step 2: Mount the enclosure to an equipment rack.

Attach the included mounting brackets to the sides of the enclosure, then fasten the brackets to the rack. The brackets can be attached at either the front or the back.

CAUTION: Leave open space of at least 1U on the top, bottom, and sides of the enclosure to allow adequate air circulation and prevent overheating. Do not cover the vents or fans.

Step 3: Connect A/V and control cables.

Refer to the setup guides and user guides for the models of transmitter and receiver boards you are installing for details on how to cable and set up each board.

zzSome fiber optic boards include pass-through RS-232 connections. zz Some boards have mode switches.

zz Some MTP twisted pair boards include picture adjustment or peaking controls.

Step 4: Connect power and test the system.

a.Connect power to the PowerCage enclosure and to the input and output devices.

b.Verify that the PowerCage fans, boards, and LEDs power up correctly. The green Power LED should be lit for each installed and securely seated power supply and fan. Press the Comm Select button and view the front panel: each time you press the button, the Power LED that corresponds to the currently selected, installed transmitter or receiver board should light.

c.Ensure that A/V signals input to the boards are output at the correct devices. If they are not,

correct cabling and check switch settings (if applicable for installed models) on the PowerCage boards.
