Operation Manual

FCC Radio Frequency Interference Statement

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B computing device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.

These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial

environment. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the

instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to

cause harmful interference in which the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.

Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

The use of non-shielded I/O cables may not guarantee compliance with FCC RFI limits. This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class B

limits for radio noise emission from digital apparatus set out in the Radio Interference Regulation of the Canadian Department of

Communications.

Le présent appareil numérique n’émet pas de bruits radioélectriques dépassant les limites applicables aux appareils numériques de classe B

prescrites dans le Règlement sur le brouillage radioélectrique publié par le ministère des Communications du Canada.

About the iMediaChassis/3

The iMediaChassis/3 is a modular chassis platform designed for use with the IMC
Networks SNMP-manageable series of modules (iMcV). The iMediaChassis/3 features
three slots for installing application series modules plus an additional slot for installing
an SNMP management module. The included SNMP Lock feature allows the
management slot to save SNMP settings while the management module is removed.

The iMediaChassis/3 can also hold two double wide “iMcV” modules, when there is
no SNMP management card in the management slot. Double-wide modules with
built-in management, such as the iMcV-Giga-FiberLinX-II, can be managed in the
chassis without the need for an SNMP module in the management slot.

The power supply configurations available for the iMediaChassis/3 include the
following:

•

Single AC

•

Single DC

•

AC and DC (available 2007)

•

AC and AC (available 2007)

•

DC and DC (available 2007)

This chassis is shipped with three of the slots covered by faceplates and one slot open
(slot 3).

Installing the iMediaChassis/3

Before installing the application modules into an iMediaChassis/3, install the chassis
first. When installing the chassis, be sure to observe the following precautions to
prevent electrical or mechanical damage:

• Stay within the chassis power rating to prevent overload of supply circuits or

damage to overcurrent protection and supply wiring.

• Maintain reliable earth ground, especially when connecting to a power strip

instead of directly to a branch circuit.

• Protect the chassis from exposure to sunlight and electrical or magnetic fields.

Fault-Tolerant Power

The fault-tolerant powering option applies to units utilizing two power supplies. If
failure occurs on one power supply, the other supply takes over in its place and
carries the power load. Refer to the

Power Supply

and

Temperature Control

sections

for wiring, alarm, and Trap information.

NOTE

The iMediaChassis/3 power supply is not field replaceable.

Installing Application Modules

Refer to the module installation guide for configuration information. To install a
module, remove the faceplate (if present) covering the slot where the module will be
installed. Double-wide modules will occupy two slots. Slide the module into the
chassis using the card guides, and secure the module to the chassis by tightening the
captive screw. Each module slot provides 1.5 Amps. The management slot uses a
connector that is longer than slots 1-3 and should only be used for installing the
management module.

INSTALLATION TIP

The module hardware configuration that is set using dip switches, is overridden by the
chassis management when the module is installed in a managed chassis.

Use the management software to ensure that the module is properly configured.

Installing Management Modules

t

Slot 1 Slot 2

Management Slo

Slot 3

An SNMP Management Module must be installed in the iMediaChassis/3 to enable
module and chassis management (except when using modules with built-in
management, such as the iMcV-Giga-FiberLinX-II). The SNMP Management module
installs in the management slot located at the bottom left of the chassis. This slot is
only for the management module; do not install application modules such as media
conversion and mode conversion modules in this slot. Double wide modules
installed in Slot 1 will overlap the management slot.

NOTE

The SNMP Management module includes DIP switches. These switches are
factory set and must not be moved.

SNMP Management Module LEDs

Each SNMP Management Module features several LEDs.

The LED functions are:

• LNK/ACT

Glows green when a link is established on port.
Blinks green when data activity occurs.

• FDX/COL:

Glows amber when port is in Full-Duplex mode.
Blinks amber when port is operating in Half-Duplex mode and
collisions occur.

• TEMP:

Glows amber when temperature of unit surpasses a user-defined
level.

• PS

Not used for the iMediaChassis/3.

• FAN A / FAN B

Not used for the iMediaChassis/3.
