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.

Required Tools

You will need these tools to install the FRM220:

Number 2 Phillips screwdriver for the 3mm and the 12-24 rack installation screws.

Wrist strap or other personal grounding device to prevent ESD occurrences.

Antistatic mat or antistatic foam to set the equipment on.

2.2 Site Preparation

Install the FRM220 within reach of an easily accessible grounded AC outlet. The outlet should be capable of

furnishing 90 to 250 VAC. Refer to 2.4 Electrical Installation. Allow at least 10cm (4 inch) clearance at the front of

the FRM220 for the Ethernet cables.

2.3 Mechanical Assembly

The FRM220 is designed for rack mount installation and will require 2U space in a standard EIA 19" or 23"

rack. The FRM220 has two removable fan units in the rear side of the chassis. Without operation fans, excessive

temperatures within the unit might cause it to electrically shutdown. The FRM220 chassis is delivered completely

assembled, however converter cards may or may not be installed in the chassis upon delivery. The rack mount

adapters may be placed along the front or centrally located on the chassis. Optional brackets also allow installation

into a 23" rack and in this configuration, central mounting is recommended.
