Powering Up Your 1001R14 Rack

Note The power supplies that come with your 1001R14 rack system are equipped with a power entry connector on the rear card. The power supplies are Hot-Swappable, so you are not required to remove the cards from the rack while applying power to the sys- tem.

When a power cable is connected between the unit, and an appropriate power source, a green LED on the front panel will glow to indicate that the unit is working properly. Since the Model 1001R14 is a "hot swappa- ble" rack, it is not necessary for any cards to be installed before applying power. The power may be removed at any time without harming the installed cards.

Note Please refer to the Model 1001RP14 Series User Manual AC & DC Rack Mount Power Supplies for fuse and power card replacement information.

4.2 INSTALLING MODEL 3088RC SERIES INTO THE CHASSIS

The Model 3088RC Series is comprised of a front card and a rear card. The two cards meet inside the rack chassis and plug into each other by way of mating 50 pin card edge connectors. Use the following steps as a guideline for installing each Model 3088RC Series into the rack chassis:

1.Slide the rear card into the back of the chassis along the metal rails provided.

2.Secure the rear card using the metal screws provided.

3.Slide the front card into the front of the chassis. It should meet the rear card when it’s almost all the way into the chassis.

4.Push the front card gently into the card-edge receptacle of the rear card. It should “click” into place.

5.Secure the front card using the thumb screws.
