PowerBlade PBC18 Installation Guide

Chapter 1

Overview

PowerBlade PBC18 Chassis

The PowerBlade PBC18 is an 18-slot chassis that is designed to hold up to 18 PowerBlade Media Converter modules and Switch modules. The chassis can be used on a desktop or in a 19-, 23- or 25-inch rack.

The front of the chassis has 18-slots for the PowerBlade modules along with six LEDs to notify you of power and management status. The chassis also has a Reset button that allows you to reset the optional management module. (See Figure 1.) The back of the chassis features a PWR 1 expansion slot for the main power supply, a PWR 2 expansion slot for an optional redundant power supply module, and an optional management module expansion slot. (See Figure 2.)

Overview

Power Supply The PowerBlade PBC18 can be either an AC or DC powered chassis. The

expansion slot for the main power supply and the optional redundant power supply are located on the back of the chassis. Refer to Figure 2 on page 20.

The main and redundant power supplies can be “hot swapped,” meaning that should either power supply fail, the failed power supply can be removed and replaced with a new power module while the chassis is operating. Network operations will not be interrupted. The power modules to be hot swapped must be the same type. For example, both power supplies must be AC or both must be DC.

Powering ON or OFF the chassis depends on the type of power supply installed. For an AC model, you connect or disconnect the power cord. For a DC model, you connect or disconnect the DC power cables or power OFF the DC circuit to which the power supply is connected.

To install a power supp l y , refer to Installing a P ower Supply Modu le on page 33. For instructions on hot swapping, refer to Hot Swapping a

Power Supply on page 42.

AC Power Supply

The AC power supply operates at 100-120/200-240 V AC with an input frequency of 50/60 Hz at ± 3%. Figure 3 shows an PowerBlade PBC18 with an AC power supply.

The management module is an optional module used to monitor the operating status of the media converters and switches installed the PowerBlade PBC18. Refer to Figure 2 on page 20 for the location of the expansion slot. The management module is not required for the chassis to operate, but it is necessary if you want to locally or remotely monitor and configure the modules and ports.

The management module features a Link, Power, and Status LEDs, as well as a Reset button. (See Figure 5.) The LEDs and the Reset button are duplicated on the front of the chassis for easy monitoring or to reset the management module. You may need to reset the module after completing the installation, adding or hot swapping a power supply, or after upgrading the module’s firmware.

Installing the Chassis on a Desktop or in a Rack

Preparing the Site Be sure to observe the following guidelines when planning the

installation of your chassis.

❑ Make sure that the chassis’ power is accessible and cables can be

easily connected.

❑ Cables must be away from sources of electrical noise such as

radios, transmitters, broadband amplifiers, power lines, fluorescent or halogen light fixtures.

❑ Air flow around the chassis and through its vents on the side and

rear should not be restricted.

❑ If you are using the chassis on a desktop, make sure it is placed on

a level, secure surface.

❑ Do not place objects on top of the chassis. ❑ Do not expose the chassis to moisture or water. ❑ Make sure the chassis is in a dust-free environment.

Reviewing Safety

Precautions

❑ Use dedicated power circuits or power conditioners to supply

reliable electrical power to the network devices.

Please review the following safety precautions before you install the chassis and the PowerBlade modules. (The first warning applies only if you purchased a module with a fiber optic port.)

Installing the Chassis on a Desktop or in a Rack

Installing the Chassis on a Desktop

This section explains how to install the chassis on a desktop. To install the chassis in a rack, refer to Installing the Chassis in a Rack on page 29.

For desktop installation, perform the following procedure:

1. Remove all the items from the shipping package and store the packaging material in a safe location. In case you need to return the chassis to Allied Telesyn, you will need to ship the unit back using as much of the original packaging material as possible.

2. Place the chassis upside down on a level, secure surface.

3. Attach one of the protective rubber feet to each corner of the chassis, then turn the unit right side up. See Figure 6.
