Introduction
This document describes how to install the XG12 chassis and its various modules.
The XG12 Chassis is the next generation high performance platform capable of supporting
all XM form factor load modules, including full chassis configurations of the Xcellon-Flex
load modules. It is a 12-slot chassis with increased total power capacity available for all
load modules and front-to-back airflow delivery along with increased bandwidth from the
CPU to the load modules.
The chassis provides improved modularity and access to the major components to reduce
downtime of a failed chassis and to reduce the probability of needing to remove a failed
chassis from the test environment.

XG12 Chassis Modules
The modules that make up the chassis are as follows:
lChassis Frame Module
lChassis Fan Module
lChassis Power Supply Module
lChassis Processor Module
The Processor Module is plugged into the front of the chassis. The power supplies and fans
are accessible from the rear of the chassis. Each of the modular components is capable of
being removed in the field and replaced with minimum downtime.

Install XG12 Chassis
The following sections describe the installation procedure:
lUn-pack and Mount the Chassis
lRemove and Insert Processor Module
lRemove and Insert Power Supply Module
lRemove and Insert Fan Module
XG12 Chassis Installation Precautions
The following precautions should be followed while installing the XG12 chassis:
lThe chassis should be installed in the rack before installing the power supply module,
fan module and load modules, thereby reducing the weight of the chassis.
lThe two lower bolts used to secure the chassis to a rack can be used to hold the
chassis frame in place while securing all of the other bolts.
lSecure the chassis to rack face with all six bolts.
lFully depress power supply clamps when installing power supply module.
lSecure the power supply module thumb bolt when installing power supply module.
lInstall the rear power supply cover before applying AC power. After removing or
installing this cover, ensure that the thumbscrews are tightened down with a 'Flat
Blade' screwdriver.
lDo not use the chassis without installing the Fan module.
lDo not use the chassis without installing the Processor module.
lDo not leave unused slots open. Use the filler panels to cover the un-used slots.
lDo not block the front air intake.
lA minimum air flow clearance of 12 inches is required. 24 inches of air flow clearance
is preferred at the rear of the chassis.
lOperator intervention may be required to power cycle the XG12 chassis or restart a
software program in the event the XG12 chassis operation is upset or stopped by elec-
trostatic discharge.

Log on to XG12 Chassis
The Username for an XG12 (Windows 7) remote desktop session is ixia and the password
is the CPU module serial number found on the sticker located in front of the CPU module.
The two network ports on the CPU module are configured by default for DHCP.
The chassis windows wallpaper is not displayed. So the credentials are required
to log on.
