2-Module Power Chassis User Manual
1. 0 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The iConverter 2-Module Power Chassis is powered by a single internal universal AC
or DC power supply and can accommodate up to two iConverter media converters. It is
ideal for enterprise Local Area Network (LAN) or Metropolitan Area Network (MAN)
applications where remote management and explicit demarcation between the service
provider’s equipment and customer’s equipment is required.

This User Manual describes the following models:
1.1 Dying Gasp Trap
The 8230-1, 8231-1, 8235-1 and 8236-1 chassis feature Dying Gasp Trap, which reports
loss of power input or chassis power supply failure. This feature requires an iConverter
management module be installed in the chassis. When power failure occurs, the chassis
reserves enough power to keep the installed modules running in order to send a nal
SNMP alert to the management software.

1.2 Terms
Backplane A printed circuit board which is permanently mounted inside the
chassis and is populated with receptacle connectors into which modules are inserted.
Module An iConverter plug-in card positioned into a slot location and in-
serted into a backplane connector.
Module-Guide A mechanical channel guiding module insertion into a backplane
connector.
Slot A single chassis position consisting of a backplane connector and its
associated module-guides.
A Link A backplane slot-to-slot connection that provides Ethernet connectiv-
ity between adjacent slots.
A Port An interface on a module capable of Ethernet trafc via the back-
plane’s A Link.
Notes:
1. Other iConverter multi-module chassis models also support a backplane B Link.
This feature is not required on the 2-Module Chassis.
2. Other modules support a B Port. In the application drawings in this manual,
the B Ports depicted are not connected.
1.3 Mechanical Description
The 2-Module chassis consists of a fixed internal AC (models 8230-0, 8230-1,
8231-0 and 8231-1) or DC (models 8235-0, 8235-1, 8236-0 and 8236-1) power supply
that provides power to the chassis’ two (2) backplane connectors.
1.4 Backplane Architecture
The chassis features two (2) module slots numbered 1 (top slot) and 2 (bottom slot). As
modules are inserted into the chassis slots, they are seated into the slot connectors.
The two slots are connected using the A Link which provides Ethernet connectivity
between the two slots.
When modules with A Port capability are inserted into the adjacent chassis slots, they
can connect their Ethernet data using their A Ports and the A Link.
Note: Not all modules support and have backplane ports. To nd out about each
specic module’s backplane port conguration, refer to the specic module’s
documentation.
This chassis’ architecture facilitates a variety of applications including unmanaged,
out-of-band managed, in-band managed and multi-port congurations.
