CHAPTER 1: BEFORE YOU START
NOTE
Regulatory compliance information
CE Mark compliance
The D20MX is rated as CISPR 11 Group 1 Class “A” equipment.
To meet essential safety requirements of the LV Directive 2006/95/EC, the D20 chassis
must be installed in a secondary cabinet if an operating voltage on any of the terminals is
equal to or higher than 50 VAC or 75 VDC. Proper wiring practices and applicable local
safety standards defining protection against electrical shock must be followed at all times.
To provide higher EMC immunity and maintain CE Mark compliance, the serial cables used
for permanent RS-232 and RS-485 connections must comply with the following
requirements:
• Cables must be shielded
• D type connector covers must provide EMC shielding (e.g., metallized plastic or die
cast metal covers) for permanently connected RS-232 cables
Class “A” equipment is intended for use in an industrial environment. The equipment
generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with these instructions, may cause interference to other devices in the vicinity.
If this equipment does cause interference with other devices, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference
by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving device
• Increase the separation between the equipment
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
other device(s) is connected
• Consult the manufacturer or field service technician for help
Product overview
The D20 is a standalone remote terminal unit (RTU). It consists of a D20MX processor
board, power supply, optional termination panels, and optional communications
equipment in a 3U tall, 19-inch wide chassis. These components, combined with software
applications running on the D20MX, form the D20 RTU System.
The D20 acts as a data concentrator and central processor. Field data gathered through
the peripheral modules and external Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs) are stored in the
system database and can be accessed by the application programs loaded on the D20.
Product design
The D20 design has horizontally mounted processor boards, with multiple boards in some
versions.
Peripheral I/O boards operate independently of the main chassis and D20MX processor
board. This means that you can use a D20 without direct connection to peripheral boards
so that it acts as a master data concentrator to other RTUs. You can also hot-swap the
peripherals without powering down the main processor. For information on peripheral
modules, see the D20/D200 Installation and Operations Guide (part number 994-0078); see
section: Connections and Configuration.
D20MX INSTRUCTION MANUAL GE INFORMATION 15
D20MX Processor
The D20MX is a single board computer built around a 667 MHz embedded PowerQUICC II
Pro processor. The D20MX supports open standard cyber security features that allow
interoperability in NERC CIP environments and introduces compliance to IEC standards;
refer to Appendix A,
The D20MX can be retrofitted into either a D20 3U single-node VME chassis or D20 3U nonVME chassis. In a single-node VME chassis, this one processor module replaces the
previous D20 M, M++, ME, and MEII CPU cards.
Due to aging printed circuit board assembly and mechanical constraints, only certain
chassis from 2002 and onward can be used with a D20MX. This comprises the following
chassis:
• D20 VME chassis 500-0280 Release 08 or higher,
• D20 Non-VME chassis 500-0305 Release 18 or higher
A solid partition between the Main processor bay and accessory bay prevents access to
the harness from the fiber card to D20MX card (only applicable to the 526-3005LF fiber
card version).
Security
The D20MX provides the following new security improvements over its predecessors:
• Centralized user authentication and authorization (RADIUS), including integration with
Microsoft Servers using NPS
• Role Based Access Control (RBAC) keeping operator and engineering activities
separated, logged and simple
• NERC compliant passwords, with strong complexity rules and one-way encrypted
• Full auditing including Syslog integration to enterprise systems
• SFTP for secure network-based firmware upgrades and configuration file transfers
• SSH for secure network access to WESMAINT II+. and the LogicLinx Executor. Refer to
Appendix E:
network access to the LogicLinx Executor.
To take advantage of these improvements, refer to the WESMAINT II+ for the D20MX
Configuration Guide (B014-1NCG) for details of these security features of the D20MX.

The chassis-mounted power supply modules are switch-mode converters that provide
output power for the D20MX processor board, VME cards, modems and D20 Peripheral I/O
modules, as required. A redundant power supply can be installed to provide fail-over
protection to ensure continuous power to the D20.
If you have an extended system with more than five peripherals, the chassis-mounted D20
power supply is not adequate. In this case, you need to install an external power supply.
Table 6 lists the standard power supplies that are available. Other power supplies are
available for specific requirements. Contact GE Digital Energy for details.

Ensure your D20 power input is externally protected for over-current; otherwise damage to
the D20MX may occur. The required fuse rating depends on the power consumption of
your system.
