The following information is included for reference only. Please consult local electrical
codes for specific information relating to your situation. The power cords supplied with
this equipment provide the only means of mains disconnection. The socket-outlet
should be installed near the equipment and should be easily accessible as well as clearly
marked.

NORTH AMERICAN POWER SUPPLY CORDS

The North American power cords supplied with this equipment have a molded
grounding plug (NEMA 5-15P) at one end and molded grounding receptacle (IEC 320­C13) at the other end (see figure below). Conductors are CEE color-coded: Light blue
(neutral), Brown (line) and Green or Green/Yellow (ground). Operation of this
equipment at voltages exceeding 130 VAC will require power supply cords which
comply with NEMA configurations.

INTRODUCTION/OVERVIEW

The S5000 Signal Management System provides an economical yet extremely versatile
platform for signal distribution and processing tasks.

Separate left and right passive rear backplanes permit differing tasks to reside within
the same frame.

PRODUCT SCOPE

The S5000 is shipped with (1) power supply and (2) backplane adapters. Three styles of
rear backplane are available From SIGMA ELECTRONICS as well as a wide variety of
distribution and processing modules. Modules and the appropriate mating backplane
options are summarized below. A redundant power supply is available as an option.

RECEIVING INSPECTION AND UNPACKING

By the time you have found and opened this manual, you have already begun to unpack
the shipping container. Since damage may have occurred in shipping it is important to
perform the following checks immediately:

• Inspect the shipping container(s) for damage.

• If you find any damage to the containers, carefully inspect the product for damage.

• If any damage is discovered, notify the shipping carrier immediately.

Compare what you received against the packing slip. If anything is missing or has
suffered damage unrelated to shipping, contact SIGMA ELECTRONICS Technical
Support immediately. Contact information is located at the front of this manual.

BACKPLANE CONFIGURATION

The S5000 can be easily reconfigured in the field if requirements change. Typically the
rear backplanes need to be replaced to accommodate a different module loading. If you
obtained the S5000 with no rear backplanes installed, or simply need to replace one
refer to the steps and figure below.

1. Remove AC power connection(s) to the frame by disconnecting the line cord(s).

2. Disconnect all cables from the frame and remove the frame from the rack. DO
NOT attempt to change backplanes with the frame installed!

3. Remove all modules from the affected side of the frame.

4. Remove the screws holding the backplane in place.

5. Gently pull the backplane assembly rearward and out of the frame.

6. Install the replacement backplane being careful not to damage the copper EMI
gasket or motherboard I/O pins. It helps to line up the I/O pin side of the backplane
first.

7. Install modules, reconnect cabling and apply AC power.
