INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL
CWCHASSIS
Commercial Grade Media Converter Rack Mount Chassis
With Single or Dual Power Supplies
The CWCHASSIS is supplied with a single power supply but can also be fitted with a
second power supply (sold separately) that provides redundancy in the unlikely event of
a power supply failure. LED indicators provide visual indication in the event that one of
the two power supply modules has failed. The design approach employed by ComNet
for equipment mounted within the CWCHASSIS chassis rack unit with two modular
CWCHASSISPSU power supplies, provides for the elimination of a single-point failure
in the event of a major fault within any module located within the chassis rack. This is
accomplished through the use of automatic electronic current limiting within each rackmountable module, rather than providing the current limiting within the power supply
unit which supports the power requirements for equipment located within the rack. This
automatic current limiting feature is also self-resetting, should the fault or overload be
of a temporary or intermittent condition. Furthermore, all modules located within the
chassis rack are hot-swappable, so that it is not necessary to power-down the rack when
removing or replacing modules.
