CHAPTER 1Introduction
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.

CHAPTER 2XG12 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.

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 electrostatic discharge.

CHAPTER 4Log 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.
Note: The chassis windows wallpaper is not displayed. So the credentials are required to log on.
