UNPACKING AND INSTALLATION
This chapter provides unpacking and installation information for the
Chassis. To avoid causing any damage to the Chassis, we recommend
that you read this chapter carefully before starting installation.
Unpacking
When unpacking the product package, you shall find these items listed
below.
?? 19” Media Converter Chassis System
?? One power supply installed in the chassis
?? One AC power cord
?? User’s Manual
?? Accessories: rack-mount screws (8 pcs.), rack-mountears(2pcs.),
rubber foot (4 pcs.)
If any item is found missing or damaged, please contact your local
reseller for replacement.
Installation
The site where you place the chassis system may greatly affect its
performance. When installing, take the following into your
consideration:

7
As with any electric device, you should place the equipment where it
will not be subjected to high temperatures, high humidity, or
electromagnetic interference. The site you selected should meet the
following requirements:
-The ambient temperature should be between 32 and 104 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.
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 include: rack-
mount screws (8 pcs.) and rack-mount brackets (2 pcs.). This well-
built chassis can be installed in the following ways:

8
.Mounting to 19-inch standard rack
Use the rack-mount brackets and screws to install the chassis into any
EIA 19” standard rack.
Step 1: Attach the brackets to both sides of the chassis. Apply four screws
to each side and secure them.
Step 2: Carefully position the chassis into the rack. Align the brackets to
the screw holes on the rack and use rack screws to secure the
chassis on 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 thumbscrew counter clockwise and pull the media
converter out of 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 thumbscrew
clockwise 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.

10
.Connecting to Power (Power Supply)
The chassis ships with only one power supply. An optional second
power supply is available. When the chassis is equipped with two
power supplies, you can have the following advanced features.
? ? 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 one of the two power supplies without powering off
the system.
? ? Redundancy–
During operation, both power supplies share the current load. In
case that one of them failed, the other will instantaneously take
100% of the load without any connection loss. Similarly, if one
power supply is removed from the Chassis, the chassis will
continue to function.
? ? Protection System–
The power of each converter bay comes from the two shared
power supplies. Each bay is isolated from the others 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.
Attention!

11
The chassis system is equipped with one power supply and
you can install one additional power supply for redundancy.
For reliable operation, we suggest that you run the chassis
system with two power supplies.
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 power
cord receptacle to ON position. The Power LED on the front panel
will come on.
.Installing and Removing the Power Supply
?? To remove a power supply, loosen the two thumbscrews by
turning them counter clockwise and then pull out the power
supply from the chassis.
?? To install a power supply to the chassis, align the power
supply’s bottom plate with the guides on the chassis, slide in
the power supply to the chassis, and then tighten the
thumbscrews by turning them clockwise.
You can slide in and out the power supply from the bay,
fasten or loose the hand screw clockwise or counter
clockwise by using hand or screwdriver.
When mounting the Chassis on a sturdy flat surface,

corner) and then place the Chassis on the flat surface.
UNDERSTANDING LED INDICATORS
The front panel LEDs provide instant operating status and help
monitor and troubleshoot the Chassis.
Front Panel
There are six LED indicators that provide you with instant
feedback on the status of the power supply and the fan.
