Installation
The site where you place the chassis system may greatly affect its
performance. When installing, take the following into your consideration:
As with any electric device, you should place the equipment where it will not
be subjected to extreme temperatures, humidity, or electromagnetic
interference. Specifically, the site you select should meet the following
requirements:
- The ambient temperature should be between 32 and 104

7
degrees Fahrenheit (0 to 40 degrees Celsius).
- The relative humidity should be less than 90 percent,
non-condensing.
- Surrounding electrical devices should not exceed the
electromagnetic field (RFC) standards for IEC 801-3, Level 2
(3V/M) field strength.
- Make sure that the equipment receives adequate ventilation
at the rear. Do not block the fan exhaust holes on the rear of
the chassis.
The power outlet should be within 1.8 meters of the chassis.
Deciding How to Install the System
We strongly suggest that you install the chassis first, as this is
more convenient for you to install media converters into the
chassis with ease. The accessories supplied in the product
package includes: rackmount screws(8 pcs) and rackmount
brackets(2 pcs). This well-built chassis can be installed in the
following ways:

8
.Mounted to 19-inch standard rack
Use the rackmount brackets and screws to install the chassis into any EIA 19”
standard rack.
Step 1: Attach the brackets to each side of the chassis. Apply four screws to
each side and secure them tightly.
Step 2: Carefully position the chassis into the rack. Align the brackets to the
side holes on the rack and use rack screws to secure the chassis with the
rack.
Step 3: Proceed to the “Connecting to Power” section.

9
.Installing Media Converter
The chassis is equipped with sixteen media converter carriers, each of which is
fitted into bays of the chassis.
Step 1: To install a media converter module onto the chassis, you have to unscrew
the bay cover from the desired bay first.
Step 2: Unscrew the hand screw counter clockwise by using hand or screwdriver
and pull out the media converter out the carrier as shown below.
Unscrew the hand screw counter clockwise
by using hand or screwdriver and pull the
media converter module out on the carrier
Step 3: Carefully slide in the module and fasten the hand screw clockwise by
using hand or screwdriver until it is fully and firmly fitted into the slot of
the chassis.
Insert the media converter module
into an available slot and fasten the hand
screw clockwise by using hand or screwdriver.

.Connecting to Power (Power Supply)
The chassis ships with only one power supply, and a second
power supply option is at your discretion. When the chassis is
equipped with two power supplies, you can have the following
advanced performance.
♦Hot Swappable –
The design of the power system is based on an idea of providing
maximum flexibility and redundancy. In this way, you may remove any of
the two power supplies without turning off the system.
♦Redundancy –
During operation, both power supplies are switched on and share the
current load. In case that one of them should fail, the other will
instantaneously take 100% of the load without any loss. Similarly, if one
power supply is removed from servicing, it can be switched off and
removed while the chassis continues functioning.
♦Protection System –
The power of each converter bay comes from the two shared
power supplies. Each bay is isolated from each other under a
certain protection mechanism, so that it is free from any
problem that might occur to the power supplies or faulty
converter bay. This is the best solution to protect your
investment in media converters.
There is an optional solution for the backup power, -
48 volt DC to DC Power Supply.
The chassis system is equipped with one power supply and
allows one additional power supply for redundancy. For reliable
operation, we suggest that you run the chassis system with two
power supplies are in place.
Attention!

11
Step 1: Connect the supplied AC power cord to the back of the chassis.
Step 2: Attach the plug into a standard AC outlet with a voltage range from
100~240Vac.
Step 3: Turn on the chassis system by flipping the switch beside the receptacle to
ON position. The LED on the front panel of power supply will come on
then.
.Installing and Removing the Power Supply
zTo remove a power supply out the chassis, you have to loose the hand screw
counter clockwise and pull out the power supply from the chassis.
zTo install a power supply to the chassis, you have to fasten the hand screw
clockwise and slide in the power supply to the chassis.
You can slide in and out the power supply from the bay,
fasten orloose the hand screw clockwise or counter
clockwise by using hand or screwdriver.
If the Chassis System needs to work alone, you can
stick up four Rubber foot below the chassis!
Attention!

UNDERSTANDING LED INDICATORS
The front panel LEDs provide instant status feedback, and, helps monitor and
troubleshoot when needed.
Front Panel
There is an array of LED indicators, which provides you with
instant feedback on the status of the power and the fan.
