Reviewing Safety Precautions
Review the following safety precautions before you begin to install
the AT-MCR1 chassis.
Note
The indicates that a translation of the safety statement is
available in a PDF document titled “Translated Safety
Statements” on the Allied Telesis website at
www.alliedtelesis.com.
Warning: Class 1 Laser product.
Warning: Do not work on equipment or cables during
periods of lightning activity.
Warning: Power cord is used as a disconnection
device. To de-energize equipment, disconnect the
power cord.
Warning: Class I Equipment. This equipment must be
earthed. The power plug must be connected to a
properly wired earth ground socket outlet. An
improperly wired socket outlet could place hazardous
voltages on accessible metal parts.
Pluggable Equipment. The socket outlet shall be
installed near the equipment and shall be easily
accessible.

Caution: Air vents must not be blocked and must have
free access to the room ambient air for cooling.
Warning: Operating Temperature. This product is
designed for a maximum ambient temperature of 40°
degrees C.
All Countries: Install product in accordance with local
and National Electrical Codes.
Warning: As a safety precaution, install a circuit
breaker with a minimum value of 16 Amps between the
equipment and the DC power source.
Always connect the wires to the LAN equipment first
before you connect the wires to the circuit breaker. Do
not work on HOT feeds to avoid the danger of physical
injury from electrical shock. Always be sure that the
circuit breaker is in the OFF position before connecting
the wires to the breaker.
Warning: Do not strip more than the recommended
amount of wire. Stripping more than the recommended
amount can create a safety hazard by leaving exposed
wire on the terminal block after installation.

Chapter 2: Installation
Warning: Check to see if there are any exposed copper
strands coming from the installed wires. When this
installation is done correctly there should be no
exposed copper wire strands extending from the
terminal block. Any exposed wiring can conduct harmful
levels of electricity to persons touching the wires.
E12
This system will work with a positive grounded or
negative grounded DC system.
Warning: Only trained and qualified personnel are
allowed to install or to replace this equipment.
Caution: The attached mounting brackets must be
used to securely mount the device on the wall.
Warning: For centralized DC power connection, install
only in a restricted access area.
A tray cable is required to connect the power source if
the chassis is powered by centralized DC power. The
tray cable must be an UL listed Type TC tray cable and
rated at 600 V and 90 degree C, with three conductors,
minimum 14 AWG.

Caution: Installation of the equipment in a rack should
be such that the amount of air flow required for safe
operation of the equipment is not compromised.

E36
AT-MCR1 Media Converter Chassis Installation Guide
Warning: Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment
should be maintained. Particular attention should be
given to supply connections other than direct
connections to the branch circuits (e.g., use of power
strips).

Pluggable Equipment. The socket outlet shall be
installed near the equipment and shall be easily
accessible.

6. Verify that the PWR LED in the front of the chassis is green.
If the PWR LED is OFF, refer to Chapter 3, ”Troubleshooting”
on page 43 for instructions.
The chassis runs a series of self-diagnostic tests, which take
a few seconds to perform. After the self tests are complete,
the chassis is ready for normal network operations.
For cabling instructions, refer to the installation guide that is
shipped with the Allied Telesis media converter.

Wiring and Powering On a DC-Powered Chassis
To wire and power on a DC-powered chassis, perform the
following procedure:
Warning
As a safety precaution, install a circuit breaker with a
minimum value of 15 Amps between the equipment and the
DC power source.
Always connect the wiring to the LAN equipment first before
you connect the wiring to the circuit breaker. Do not work with
HOT feeds to avoid the danger of physical injury from
electrical shock. Always be sure that the breaker is in the
OFF position before connecting the wires to the breaker.
E9
Warning
The DC input shall be from a secondary source isolated from
the mains by reinforced insulation.
Warning: Only trained and qualified personnel are allowed to
install or to replace this equipment. E14
Warning: For centralized DC power connection, install only in
a restricted access area. E23
37
Chapter 2: Installation
A tray cable is required to connect the power source if the
chassis is powered by centralized DC power. The tray cable
must be an UL listed Type TC tray cable and rated at 600 V
and 90 degree C, with three conductors, minimum 14 AWG.
E24
1. On the back panel of the chassis is a DC terminal block,
starting from the left side of the terminal block, identify the
positive, frame ground, and negative terminals, using the
symbols above the terminal block, as shown in Figure 18.

2. With a 14-gauge wire-stripping tool, strip the three wires in
the tray cable coming from the DC input power source to
8mm ± 1mm (0.31 in., ± 0.039 in.), as shown in Figure 19.

Warning
Do not strip more than the recommended amount of wire.
Stripping more than the recommended amount can create a
safety hazard by leaving exposed wire on the terminal block
after installation. E10
3. Connect the frame ground wire to the terminal marked with
the ground symbol by inserting the wire into the terminal and
tightening the connection with a flathead screwdriver, as
shown in Figure 20 on page 39.
Warning
When installing this equipment, always ensure that the power
supply ground connection is installed first and disconnected
last. E11

Chapter 2: Installation
5. Connect the negative feed wire to the terminal block marked
(-).
Warning
Check to see if there are any exposed copper strands coming
from the installed wires. When this installation is done
correctly there should be no exposed copper wire strands
extending from the terminal block. Any exposed wiring can
conduct harmful levels of electricity to persons touching the
wires. E12
6. Secure the tray supply cable near the rack framework using
multiple cable ties to minimize the chance of the connections
being disturbed by casual contact with the wiring. Use at least
four cable ties, separated four inches apart. Locate the first
one within six inches of the terminal block.
This system will work with a positive grounded or negative
grounded DC system. E13
7. Ensure that the circuit breaker is in the OFF position.
8. Connect the DC wires to the circuit breaker.
9. Power on the circuit breaker.
10. Verify that PWR LED in the front of the chassis green.
If the PWR LED is OFF, refer to Chapter 3, ”Troubleshooting”
on page 43 for instructions.
The chassis runs a series of self-diagnostic tests, which take
a few seconds to perform. Once the self tests are complete,
the chassis is ready for normal network operations.

Trouble sho oti ng
Follow the guidelines below to test and troubleshoot the
installation in the event a problem occurs.
If the PWR LED is OFF, do the following:
Check to be sure that the power adapter is securely connected
to the power source and to the DC connector on the front of
the AT-MCR1 chassis.
Check to be sure that the power outlet has power by
connecting another device to it.
Try replacing the power adapter with another power adapter.
If there is a communication problem between the end-nodes
connected to the chassis, do the following:
Verify that the chassis and end-nodes are operating with the
same duplex mode.
If you are still experiencing problems after testing and
troubleshooting the installation, refer to “Contacting Allied Telesis”
on page 10. For support information, visit our web site at
