INTRODUCTION

The Network Chassis is available as a chassis may be operated as passive chassis, or may become part of a Managed System by inserting controllers, a network chassis display board, and connecting the Ethernet port. This document describes the installation of the chassis in a typical rack installation.

Admonishments

Important safety admonishments are used throughout this manual to warn of possible hazards to persons or equipment. An admonishment identifies a possible hazard and then explains what may happen if the hazard is not avoided. The admonishments — in the form of Dangers, Warnings, and Cautions — must be followed at all times.

Danger: Danger is used to indicate the presence of a hazard that will cause severe personal injury, death, or substantial property damage if the hazard is not avoided.

Warning: Warning is used to indicate the presence of a hazard that can cause severe personal injury, death, or substantial property damage if the hazard is not avoided.

Caution: Caution is used to indicate the presence of a hazard that will or can cause minor personal injury or property damage if the hazard is not avoided.

General Safety Precautions

Warning: To prevent electrical shock, never install chassis in a wet location or during a lightning storm. When installing or modifying telephone lines, disconnect lines at the network interface before working with uninsulated lines or terminals.

Caution: When connecting the equipment to the power sources, check the equipment nameplate rating to avoid overloading circuits which may cause damage to over-current protection devices and supply wiring.

Caution: If the chassis is installed in a closed or multi-rack assembly, the operating temperature of the rack environment may be greater than the ambient temperature. Be sure to install the chassis in an environment that is compatible with the maximum rated ambient temperature. See Specifications.

Caution: Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that air f low to the equipmen t is not compromised.

Page 2

Caution: When mounting equipment in the rack make sure mechanical loading is even to avoid a hazardous condition, such as loading heavy equipment in the rack unevenly. The rack should safely support the combined weight of all equipment it supports.

Caution: Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).

Caution: This equipment is to be installed only in Restricted Access Areas (dedicated equipment rooms, equipment closets, etc.) in accordance with Articles 110-16, 110-17, an d 11018 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.

2 UNPACKING AND INSPECTION

Unpack and inspect the various components as follows:

1. Inspect the exterior of the shipping container(s) for evidence of rough handling that may have damaged the components in the container.

2. Unpack each container while carefully checking the contents for damage and verify with the packing slip.

Page 3

ADCP-92-309 • Issue 4 • July 2016

3. If damage is found or parts are missing, file a claim with the commercial carrier and notify CommScope Customer Service. Save the damaged cartons for inspection by the carrier.

4. Refer to Section 4 Technical Assistance if you need to contact CommScope.

5. Save all shipping containers for use if the equipment requires shipment at a future date.

The following procedures provide the necessary instructions for installing and wiring a chassis in an equipment rack.

Caution: This equipment is to be installed only in Restricted Access Areas (dedicated equipment rooms, equipment closets, etc.) in accordance with Articles 110-16, 110-17, an d 11018 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.

3 CHASSIS INSTALLATION

Warning: To prevent electrical shock, never install chassis in a wet location or during a lightning storm. When installing or modifying telephone lines, disconnect lines at the network interface before working with uninsulated lines or terminals.

Tool and hardware requirements are listed in Table 2.

• Locate mounting hardware required.

2. Determine what rack size is being used. When installing in a 19-inch rack use the hardware provided to attach the chassis to the rack.

Caution:

If chassis is installed in a closed or multi-rack a ssembly, the operating temp erature of the rack environment may be greater than the ambi ent tempe rature. B e sure to i nstall the chass is in an environment that is compatible with the maxim um ra ted amb ient t emp eratu re. See Sp ecif icatio ns.

Caution: Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that air f low to the equipmen t is not compromised.

3. Locate the equipment rack mounting space that is specified for the chassis.

Note: Ethernet cabling distance to and from the chassis should not exceed 328ft. (100m).

Note: If installing chassis in a Q-Frame (Cross-Connect Solution), make ground

connection to chassis before securing chassis in the rack.

4. Place chassis in the assigned mounting space and align the holes in the mounting brackets with the holes in the equipment rack. See Figure 1.

5. Secure chassis to equipment rack using the appropriate hardware. Torque these screws to approximately 27 pound-inches (3.1 Newton meters).

Caution: When mounting equipment in the rack make sure mechanical loading is even to avoid a hazardous condition, such as loading heavy equipment in the rack unevenly. The rack should safely support the combined weight of all equipment it supports.

When installing Quareo Network Chassis in the odd spaces (1, 3, 5, 7) the first chassis in each space is secured using the top mounting hole in the chassis and the lowest hole in chassis. When installing Quareo Network Chassis in the even spaces (2, 4, 6, 8) the first chassis in each space is secured using the second mounting hole in the ch assis and the lowe st hole in ch assis. See

3.3 Grounding Chassis

This procedure establishes a ground connection between the chassis and the earth ground connection. Frame ground terminations (10-32 screws) are provided on the chassis, for a frame ground connection. This connection must be made in accordance with all local and national electrical codes.

1. Locate ground location on chassis, see Figure 4. At grounding location remove protective tape from chassis.

2. Using AWG 14 (1.6mm) solid copper wire, secure two hole ground lug to one end of the ground wire (installer provided). Secure ground lug to chassis with two 10-32 screws. Torque ground screws to approximately 15 pound-inches (1.7 Newton meters).

Caution:

should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).

3. To assure proper operation the chassis should be connected to a good earth ground. There

Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particula r attention

must be no switching or disconnecting devices in the grounding circuit conductor between the power source and the point of connection to the grounding electrode conductor.

4. Connect the other end of the ground wire to the earth ground conductor. Ensure this connection is made using methods and hardware that meets all applicable local and national electrical codes.

3.4 Power Cabling

Caution: When connecting the equipment to the power sources, check the equipment nameplate rating to avoid overloading circuits which may cause damage to over-current protection devices and supply wiring.

Each chassis controller has two potential power sources. One is a Power over Ethernet ( source, and the second is AUX power from an external source.

A RJ-45 connection on the controller is requi red to inte rface the Et hernet to the end user . Connec t an Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 port. If this connection originates at a PoE switch the controller is powered over the Ethernet connection. If on ly a PoE connecti on is made to the controller, the PoE connection powers the controller. The AUX power connection is not required for power. If both a PoE switch and an AUX power source connection is made to the controller, the AUX power connection powers the controller. If a standard Ethernet (non PoE) connection is made to the controller, the AUX power connection is required to po wer the controller.

PoE)

A PoE switch and an AUX power supply can simultaneously be connected to the controller module. A PoE switch is designed to shut power off when the presence o f another p ower source (AUX power) is present. If power is not provided through the AUX port the controller assumes a PoE switch is the voltage source. During the AUX power application to the controller the
