1Unpacking
Open the carton and unpack the items. Your package
should include:
▪16-Bay Media Converter Chassis
▪Power cords
▪User’s Manual
▪Brackets & Bracket screws
▪Media converter carriers, fitted to each bay
If any items are missing or damaged, notify your
EtherWAN representative.
2Select a Location
The installation site should be free of extreme
temperatures, humidity, or excessive electromagnetic
interference. Specifically, the site should meet the
following requirements:
▪The ambient temperature should be between 32
and 113 degrees Fahrenheit (0 to 45 degrees
Celsius).
▪The relative humidity should be at least 5% and
less than 95 percent, non-condensing.
▪Surrounding electrical devices should not exceed
the electromagnetic field (EMC) standards for IEC
801 3, Level 2 (3V/M) field strength.
▪Make sure that the equipment receives adequate
ventilation. Do not block the ventilation holes on
each side of the equipment or the fan exhaust
port on the side or rear of the equipment.
3Rack Mounting
Use the rackmount brackets and screws to install the
chassis into any EIA 19” standard rack.
▪Place the brackets on the sides of the chassis so
that the screw holes are aligned. Use the bracket
screws to securely attach the brackets to the
chassis.
▪Position the chassis into the rack. Align the
brackets to the side holes on the rack and use rack
screws to secure the chassis to the rack.
4Installing Components
Each bay is equipped with a holding tray, secured to
the chassis by a retaining screw. To install a media
converter or Ethernet extender:
1) Loosen the retaining screw and pull the holding
tray out.
2) Remove the inner face plate from the holding
tray.
3) Fit the component into the holding tray, and
then slide the holding tray into the bay.
4) Tighten the retaining screw to secure the holding
tray and component in place.
NOTE: Do not insert a media converter or Ethernet
extender into the chassis directly without using the
supplied holding trays. The holding trays ensure
correct placement of components, and provide
electrical insulation.
5Connect Power
The chassis provides dual power supplies for
redundancy and load sharing. However, only one
power supply is needed to operate the chassis.
AC Power: Connect the supplied AC power cords to
the receptacles power supply. Plug the cords in to a
standard AC outlet with a voltage range from
100~240VAC.
Power Consumption
Chassis: 5.4W Max.
6Relay Output Alarm
The chassis provides a 3-pin relay dry contact located
at the rear panel of the chassis for signaling of a power
failure. The relay output can be connected to an alarm
signaling device. The relay alarm will be triggered
when the system power falls below 10.8VDC. The
relay logic will apply for both single and dual power
operation. Current is 0.6 Amps at 30VDC.
Normal state: 3 & 2 open, 2 & 1 closed
Alarm state: 3 & 2 closed, 2 & 1 open
