INTRODUCTION

This manual describes the Quareo High Density Equipment Panel (HDEP) and documents all procedures required in installing it. Included are the procedures required to mount the panel on a rack, ground the panel, and install Vertical Cable Guides (VCGs).

Note: This manual does not contain instructions for installing modules in access trays. Instructions unique to the various module types are provided through QR code access to the CommScope Field Support Link. This online site contains videos, animations, and other information for the module being installed. The QR code is a label on the top of the panel; the Field Support Link is accessed using a visual recognition app on a smart phone.

Note: This manual does not contain instructions for the Web Interface used when the panel is installed to configure it within the Quareo network. Instructions for this are provided in TECP-90-805.

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 injury, death, or substantial property damage if the hazard is not avoided.

Warning: Warning 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

Danger: To prevent electrical shock, never install panel 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.

TECP-90-801 • Issue 4 • October 2017

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 panel 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 panel 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 flow to the equipment is

not compromised.

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, and 11018 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70

1.1 Physical Description

The Quareo High Density Equipment Panel (HDEP) is a fiber optic connector panel with six access trays, each providing a mounting location for one adapter pack or cabled module. A single access tray provides 24 LC connections for a panel total capacity of 144 LC connections.

The panel has mounting brackets intended for a 19-inch (48. 26 cm) rack-mount. Extender brackets shipped with the ETSI extender brackets already installed. The panel may also be mounted in a cabinet providing a 19-inch, 23-inch, or ETSI rack mount configuration.

This panel contains electronics that enable connection information to be acquired and supplied to physical layer management system. Refer to Topic 1.2 on Page 5.

Figure 1 shows the main physical features of the 1RU panel, including the following:

configure the panel for an ETSI or 23-inch (58.42 cm) rack-mount. The panel is

• Grounding

The Quareo HDEP is orderable with universal adapter packs designed to accept a variety of connector information, see Table 1. Adapter packs can be installed from the front or rear by snapping them into position; no screws or tools are required. Cabled modules (ordered separately) are also available

for this panel. For more information, see Table 1.

1.2 Panel Electronics

The Quareo HDEP has electronics that enable it to function by ICM in a Quareo physical management system. A typical Quareo network includes both fiber and copper connector panels and non-managed representations of the input and output devices (such as switches) to which cables are connected.

Assuming all connections to the Quareo HDEP are made with managed modules and cables,

electronics provide an ICM user with the ability to know, on a real time basis, whether

these each port of the Quareo HDEP is connected and to what it is connected (what other equipment and port). On a network level, the user may plan future connections and disconnections of equipment assisted by a dynamic schematic view of connectivity of the entire network.

1.3 Status LEDs on Front Panel and Modules

The Quareo HDEP has six Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) on the front middle of the panel (Figure 2). These LEDs are identical in function. There is one LED for each access tray. The LEDs have two states: unlit or lit (green).
