Supplies listed in the following table are required for this installation.
Provided in your shipping carton You provide
BNP 3xr chassis with installed
modules.
AC power cord, for AC system, or
DC connector cables, for DC system.
Front and rear rack-mount brackets. Ethernet cable: for connectivity between the
One M4 grounding nut. One or more GigE copper or optical SFP
Phillips screwdriver
Eight rack-mount screws.
BNP and the Management workstation.
modules.
2 Rackmount the BNP 3xr
1. Use the rack-mount screws to attach the front rack-mount
bracket to one side of the chassis. Repeat on the other side of
the chassis.
2. Secure the front of the chassis to the rack.
3. Slide the mounting brackets to the correct distance and secure
them.
4. Seat the chassis on the rear mounting shelf.
5. Ground the chassis.
The BNP 3xr can be used with one to four modules, depending on
your requirements.
4 Connect the Ports
Use the correct cable for the port type and your network
configuration:
• 10/100BaseT Ethernet port, used to communicate with the
management network.
• ASI ports, located on the rear of the chassis. Use a push/twisting
motion to ensure proper seating of the cables.
• The Gigabit Ethernet ports must have approved SFPs before
cabling.
5 Power Up
1. Connect all ports before applying power.
2. Connect power to the chassis:
• For AC power: plug one end of the AC power cable into the
BNP 3xr power connector. If using two power supplies, plug
the second AC power cable into the other AC power
connector. Plug the other end of the power cable(s) into the
input power source. The unit should now have power.
• For DC power, cut the provided DC connector cables to the
correct length to reach the BNP3xr from the power source.
Attach the connector cables from the power source to the
BNP3xr power connectors. Attach the other end of the
power connector cables into the input power source. Toggle
the external circuit breaker to the ON position. The unit
should now have power.
3. Verify power: at the BNP 3xr, check to ensure that the Cfg/Pwr
LED is solid green. The PSU1 and/or PSU2 LEDs on the front of
the chassis should also be solid green.
