1 KBU 64 Rackmount Specification
1.1 Introduction
This manual describes the Rackmount version of the KBU64. The
standalone KBU 64 has its own manual , Publicat ion 80-10100000. For
information on the command menus and parameters in the rackmount
version, you will need to refer to the standalone KBU 64 manual.

the KBU 64 Card Fram e as a host for power and managem ent via t he
Management Card. The rackmounted KBU 64 consi sts of a K BU card
and a rear interface card (card 'pair'), both cards connecting to a
motherplane for power source and management. Rear interface cards
may be ordered as X.21, V.24, or V.35 variants.
Power supply is via two switching supplies, which normally load share
when both are fitted.

KBU 64 Rackmount Specification
The rackmount version of the KBU 64 is functionally the same as the
standalone in most respects, as it uses the same software. Theref ore
most of the sections of your KBU64 Manual manual (Publication 80-
10100000) relating to KBU 64's operation are relevant.
The rackmount card functionality differs in the following ways:-
• There is a single 15 way command port on each KBU 64 r ear card
for al l com mands and alar ms. T here is no separate alar m port or
alarm rel ay output on the cards. The com m and port has the sam e
function as the standalone 25 way command port.
• The Management Card (if fitted) provides a command port for
access to all KBU 64 cards in the rack.
• Standard physical interfaces are provided for X21 (15 way 'D'),
V35 (34 way MRAC), and V24 (25 way 'D'). Thi s means t hat the
V11/V28 selection links are not provided as they are no longer
necessary. A choice of 3 rear interface cards exist to provide
these interfaces.
• The interf ace LED's are as for the standalone ex cept that the Link
LED's have been omitted for front panel clarity.
• The ISDN cable is connected to the Rear I nterf ace Card by an RJ
45 style plug.
• Power indicati on f or each power supply i s present on the Manager
Card.
