Chapter 2 Installation Chapter 2 Installation 2.1 Introduction The Installation chapter will cover the physical installation of the FRM220, Rack Mount In-Band Managed Series Fiber Converter Platform Chassis, the electrical connections, interface connections and cabling requirements. A brief overview of the functional components such as main unit and management options will also be outlined in this chapter.
Chapter 2 Installation 2.3.2 Fan Units Removal/Replacement Figure 2-2 Removal/Replacement of FRM220 Fan Units 2.3.3 Line Card Conversion, Stand-alone/Rack The FRM Media Converter Line Card may be mounted in the FRM220 chassis or serve as a stand-alone unit. When installing in the single slot chassis, the outer cover holds the line card. The unit then serves as a stand-alone media converter that can be linked to a line card in the FRM220 chassis.
Chapter 2 Installation 2.4 Electrical Installation With an AC power module, AC power is supplied to the FRM220 through a standard IEC 3-prong receptacle, located on the rear of the module. With a DC module, DC -48V is connected to the terminal block located on the rear of the module, observing the proper polarity. The FRM220 should always be grounded through the protective earth lead of the power cable in AC installations, or via the frame ground connection for DC installations.
Chapter 2 Installation 2.6 Chassis Cascade The FRM220 chassis may be cascaded in such a manner that only one single IP address is required to manage up to 10 chassis in a single location. The connection diagram is shown below. Each chassis is assigned a unique ID starting at zero for the master chassis and incrementing for each cascaded chassis, up to an ID of nine. The "out" of the parent chassis connects to the "in" of the child using any standard UTP cable with RJ-45 connectors.
Chapter 2 Installation 2.7 Power Modules Removal/Replacement The Power Supply Modules in the FRM220 are available in three versions, one AC and two DC types. The universal AC version supports input voltages of 90 to 264 volts at frequencies of 47 to 63 Hertz. The DC version supports either a standard 36 to 72VDC or an optional 18 to 36VDC input voltage. Only one power supply module is required to power a completely full rack.
Chapter 2 Installation 2.8 Installation 2.6.1 Line Card Installation The Line Cards for the FRM220 are Fiber Media Converter Cards which slide into the FRM220 chassis, and interface with the pack panel "main board". The back panel provides a connection to the converter cards for power and serial control. The media converter cards are designed to be "hot" swappable, meaning the FRM220 chassis need not be powered off in order to remove or replace a card.
Chapter 3 Provisioning Chapter 3 Provisioning 3.1. Introduction This chapter will go into the details of the specific provisioning and operation of the FRM220. Broken into two parts, the first part outlines the procedures and functions when using the serial console for configuration.
