5.1 THE MODEL 1001R14 RACK CHASSIS

The Model 1001R14 Rack Chassis (Figure 5) has fourteen short range modem card slots, plus its own power supply. Measuring only 3.5” high, the Model 1001R14 is designed to occupy only 2U in a 19” rack. Sturdy front handles allow the Model 1001R14 to be extracted and transported conveniently.

The Rack Power Supply

The Patton NetLink rack system is designed to allow single or redundant (dual) power supplies. Using the same mid-plane architecture as the function/rear cards, the front function card and the power supply slide in from the front, while the rear card and power entry modules slide in from the rear. They plug into one another in the middle of the rack. The front card is then secured by thumb screws and the rear card by conventional metal screws..
