It is very strongly recommended that a replacement power supply unit be installed
as soon as possible in order to prevent overheating of the chassis unit.

THE POWER SUPPLIES ARE HOT-SWAPPABLE AND CAN BE REPLACED
WITHOUT SHUTTING THE NETWORK DOWN. HOWEVER, WHEN REMOVING AND
REPLACING A POWER SUPPL Y UNIT , THE FOLLOWING STEPS MUST BE STRICTL Y
FOLLOWED IN ORDER TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY OR DEA TH, OR SERIOUS
DAMAGE TO YOUR EQUIPMENT .

Hot Removal of Power Supplies:

1. Determine which power supply needs replacing by observing the LEDs in the
front left of the chassis: the top LED indicates the power status of the right
power supply (as observed from the front), the bottom LED indicates the
power status of the left power supply (as observed from the front).

Notice that LED being ON indicates that the power supply is operational. The
LED being OFF may indicate that the DC power is not applied, please verify
that your DC power source is providing power.

2. Once you determine that your DC source is connected properly, and the power
supply LED is still not ON, determine which is the failing power supply unit
and proceed to the next step.

3. Locate the 48VDC circuit breaker, and switch the circuit breaker to the OFF
position.

4. Remove the DC power cables of the faulty power supply from the FlexPoint
power supply unit.

5. Loosen the 2 screws securing the power supply to the main chassis (observe
the illustration above).

6. Remove the faulty power supply.

FlexPointTM Powered Chassis

User’s Manual

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The FlexPointTM Powered Chassis is a chassis capable of holding up to 14
FlexPointTM media converter modules. It is equipped with two power supplies in a
power-redundant configuration.

This User’s Manual describes the following models:

Model Description
4385 Powered Chassis, rack-mountable chassis, 2 power supplies
4386 Powered Chassis, rack-mountable chassis, 1 power supply
4389 Power supply unit for models 4385 and 4386

6 Omnitron Systems Technology, Inc.

Cabling and Power-Up:

1. Insure that both FlexPoint Chassis power supply switches are in the OFF
position.

2. Assure that the 48VDC circuit breaker can supply 3A of current per power
supply.

3. Locate the 48VDC circuit breaker, and switch the 48VDC circuit breaker to the
OFF position.

4. Cut the power cable to the length required.

5. Strip approximately 3/8 of an inch of insulation from the power cable wires.

6. Connect the power cables to the FlexPoint Chassis by fastening the stripped
ends to the 48VDC connector.

WARNING: Note the wire colors used for making the positive, negative and

ground connections. Use the same color assignment for the connection at the
circuit breaker.

7. Connect the power cable to the circuit breaker and switch the circuit breaker
ON.

8. Turn both FlexPoint Chassis power supply switches on and check the power
LED’s on the front panel of the powered chassis. The two LED’s should be ON.

9. Attach the L shaped tabs to the FlexPoint media converter units to be inserted
into the chassis, Secure the FlexPoint module using the enclosed screws.

10. Save the unused tabs in a safe place or secure them to the chassis’ unused

Slots.

POWER SUPPLY REPLACEMENT

WARNING!

NEVER A TTEMPT T O OPEN OR SER VICE THE POWER
SUPPLY UNIT. OPENING THE POWER SUPPLY UNIT

MA Y CAUSE SERIOUS INJUR Y OR DEATH.

The Powered Chassis is intended to be used with two power supplies in a
power-redundant operation. A failure of a single supply should not disturb the
operation of the chassis unit. However, certain power supply failures may
cause a secondary failure to the associated fan and cause undesired
overheating of the chassis unit.
