2. RuggedBackbone™ Modules

2. RuggedBackbone™ Modules

The RX1512 chassis provides two module slots. Each slot accommodates a particular type of
RuggedCom module. Figure 2.1, “RX1512 Chassis Slot Assignment” shows the module slots on
the RX1512.

Figure 2.1. RX1512 Chassis Slot Assignment

The RX1512 chassis supports the following modules:

LM1 and LM2

The RX1512 chassis supports up to two line module (LM) cards. For more information on line
modules, see Section 2.2, “Line Modules (LM)”.

The RX1512 features a single 12-60VDC power supply integrated with the Control Module. For
instructions on completing the power supply connections, see Section 2.3, “Power Supply”.

All modules are built to the RuggedRated™ specifications of the RuggedBackbone™ RX1512.
Each module type is described in the following sections.

To install a module into the RuggedBackbone™ chassis, align the module guide ribs
with the channels on the chassis. Push the module in as far as it will go, being sure to
push through the resistance provided by the grounding springs. When properly seated,
the module flange will rest on the main chassis frame. Tighten the thumbscrews using
finger strength only.
