HARDWARE DESCRIPTION
Product Overview
The Converters Chassis offers the user a dedicated and secure
environment for multiple media conversion applications. It also
allows the user to utilize existing and new media converters
either in the rack or in a stand-alone installation.
Flexibility
The Chassis supports up to 12 media converters covering
10Base-T, 10Base-FL, 100Base-TX and 100Base-FX, Gigabit
1000Base-T, Gigabit SX/LX, conversion. In addition, both Multimode and Single Mode options are supported too.
Reliability
The Chassis also supports two high quality hot swappable power
supplies. Either power unit can be removed without disturbing
the Chassis' operation – offering total efficiency, maximum
redundancy and minimum down time. Each converter is supplied
from a common shared power bus – but as an added precaution,
each is individually protected in the event of a problem on the
or from the power supply. Each converter can also be changed
without powering down.

Functionality
The Chassis was carefully designed to offer a lifetime of operation
Incorporated into the Chassis are three long-life cooling fans to
ensure a cool operating environment. The Chassis also features
an LED status panel. Each fans and converter is monitored and
connected to the LED status panel. This indicates that power
is supplied to each converter and that the Fans are functioning
correctly. The power supplies also feature a "trigger guard" to
prevent the supply from being accidentally switched off.

INSTALLATION
In this chapter, we will take a look at how to install converters into
the Chassis and the different options available for placement of the
Chassis system within its operating environment. First, it is important
to unpack the Chassis and ensure that all the components listed
on page 2 "Package Contents" are present. In some cases, the
Chassis may come complete with certain converters already
installed. You can either install the converters first and then
the Chassis, or you can install the Chassis first and then the
converters. We recommend that you do the latter as it is more
convenient.
Installing the brackets
All the converters are made using a standard case. This allows it
to fit into the Chassis with ease. The converters can be mounted
directly into the Chassis without using the supplied brackets but
we strongly advise against this. We have supplied special brackets
that easily attaches to the converters. This allows for the secure
placement of the converters into the Chassis. The bracket also
seals off the front of the Chassis and allows it's cooling system
to function correctly.

Installation
Affixing brackets
Step 1. Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove two screws
from the side panels on the converter.
Step 2. Place the converter and brackets on a flat horizontal
surface as illustrated above. Secure the brackets by
replacing the screws
.
Ensure that the rails are flush-mounted with the underside
of the converter. The converter is now ready for loading into
the Chassis.
