Safety Requirements

For your protection, please read these safety instructions completely before operating the equipment.
Look carefully for potential hazards in your work area: moist floors, ungrounded power cables, frayed power cords, missing safety grounds and so forth.
Locate the main circuit breaker within the room.
Locate the emergency power OFF switch within the room.
Never assume that power is disconnected from a circuit.
Use only the power cord supplied with the system.
The power cord should only be connected to a power outlet that has a protective ground contact.
Ensure that the power cord is easily accessible from the back of the system at all times.
Place the equipment in a well-ventilated area where the vents are free from obstruction.
Do not place heavy objects directly on top of the RMX 2000 unit.
Do not use liquids around your equipment.
Polycom RMX 2000 Hardware Guide

Rack Mount Safety Precautions

The following precautions should be followed with regards to rack mount safety:
Keep the area around the RMX 2000 clean and free of clutter.
Decide on a suitable location for the equipment rack that will hold the RMX 2000 unit. It should be situated in a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated. Avoid areas where heat, electrical noise and electromagnetic fields are generated. You will also need it placed near a grounded power outlet.
Ensure that the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack are fully extended to the floor with the full weight of the rack resting on them.
1-3
Chapter 1- Hardware Description
In a single rack installation, stabilizers should be attached to the rack.
In multiple rack installations, the racks should be coupled together.
Always make sure the rack is stable before extending a component from the rack.
You should extend only one component at a time - extending two or more simultaneously may cause the rack to become unstable.
Before you install the rails, determine the placement of each component in the rack.
Install the heaviest components on the bottom of the rack first, and then work up.
Allow the power supply units to cool before touching them.
Always keep the rack’s trays and board’s closed when not servicing, to maintain proper cooling.

Installation Precautions

When handling electronic components, standard anti-static precautions must be observed:
Wear a grounding strap
Handle cards by their edges only and do no t touch their components or
connector pins
Keep components in anti-static bags, when not installed in the RMX2000
1-4
The following precautions should be followed with regards to installation of the RMX 2000:
Use a regulating uninterruptable power supply (UPS) to protect the RMX 2000 from power surges and voltage spikes, to keep your MCU operating in case of a power failure.
Place the RMX 2000 on a hard, flat surface such as a desktop or mount it on 19” rack.
The airflow of the RMX 2000 is from right to left. Be sure that the areas in the left and right side of the system are clear for proper ventilation.

RMX 2000 Components

On the RMX 2000 modules are located on both the front and rear of the MCU as listed in Table 1-2, "Polycom RMX 2000 Component Description". For more information see the descriptions of the "RMX 2000 Front Panel” on page 1-5 and "RMX 2000 Rear Panel” on page 1-7.

Multi Processor Module (MPM) Board
The CPU Module controls and manages the RMX 2000. The CPU Module has an ComExpress Pentium-M 1.4 GHz processor, a 40GB hard disk drive, 1GB Compact Flash and 512MB of DDR RAM.
The Operating System is Linux. The Power Supply Module is housed in a drawer and
located below the MPM Modules. The Power Supply drawer is connected to the backplane by means of a power connector. Operates at 100-240 volts AC 50/60 Hz, and provides +48VDC 700W output with built-in load sharing capabilities.
Three fans are mounted in the drawer. Airflow is from right to left, and out the side of the MCU. The drawer is connected to the back plane by a connector.
The MPM Boards, perform the various RTP, audio and video processing functions on the RMX 2000 unit. Boards are based on the ATCA standard, with a card manager (CM) and up to 26 720Mhz TI DSP’s. Two types are available:
MPM - F - 26 DSP’s
MPM - H - 13 DSP’s

RMX 2000 Rear Panel

The RMX 2000 rear panel contains the RTM IP board and optionally, the RTM ISDN board. In addition, the rear panel houses the main power switch, AC inlet, a circuit breaker, and additional communications ports.

RTM IP

The RTM IP board provides system shelf management based on the ATCA standard and connects to the backplane. It controls and monitors fans on the system and regulates power supply. This board contains an Ethernet Switch managing the network of the system and routing traffic. This board routes data between the boards and components of the system, and provides connectivity to external IP networks.
Connections include:
•3 LAN ports
10/100Mb ShMG port (Future Use)
1 Serial port (Future Use)
•1 USB port

RTM ISDN

Polycom RMX 2000 Hardware Guide
The RTM ISDN card connects directly to an MPM card. The RTM ISDN card routes data between the MPM cards and components of the system, converts ISDN T1/E1 media to IP packets and provides connectivity to external ISDN networks. Up to two RTM ISDN cards can be installed in one RMX 2000.
Each RTM ISDN card includes the following connections:
12 E1/T1 PRI lines
•1 LAN port
LAN & LEDs
H/S LED
Figure 1-3 RMX 2000 RTM ISDN Rear Panel Layout
E1/T1 connections
The RTM-ISDN card supports 200 participants, regardless of whether the spans are T1 or E1.

ISDN/PSTN Clock Source

Each RTM ISDN card has its own primary and secondary clock source. The first span to synchronize becomes the primary clock source and the second span to synchronize becomes the secondary clock source. This clock is used to synchronize ISDN spans only (it is not the system clock).
A single clock source triggers an alarm that can be turned off by setting the appropriate flag in the system configuration.
