Rx Use This configuration may be used with certain unbalanced 75Ω coax E1 networks.
Chapter 3 Installation and Replacement Overview Introduction This chapter provides instructions for the following tasks: • • • • Installation and Replacement Installing a Vanguard 6435/6455. Modifying your unit. Installing and replacing the battery. Turning the battery on and off.
Checking Your Shipment Contents Checking Your Shipment Contents List of Contents Before you install the Vanguard 6435/6455, make sure your shipment contents are complete. The Vanguard 6435/6455 is packaged in shock-absorbent packing material. Inside your shipping carton, you should find the contents shown in Figure 3-1.
Installing The Vanguard 6435/6455 Installing The Vanguard 6435/6455 Introduction This section explains how to install the Vanguard 6435/6455. It consists these sections: • Selecting and preparing the installation site. • Standalone installation. • Rack mount Installation (6455 only). • Thermal considerations. • Cabling. After the Vanguard 6435/6455 is installed and cabled, go to Chapter 4, Powering Up Your Vanguard 6435/6455 for instructions for powering-up the unit.
Installing The Vanguard 6435/6455 Installing the Standalone Version How to Choose a Site Before you install a standalone version of the Vanguard 6435/6455, select a site for the device. Choose a site that is within an appropriate distance of a power source. Depending on your application, and the country in which the Vanguard 6435/6455 is to operate, the power source must be a grounded 110 to 220 Vac outlet.
Installing The Vanguard 6435/6455 Installation Complete these steps to install the stand-alone version: Step Action 1 Unpack the Vanguard 6435/6455, and inspect the unit to ensure you have all the components. 2 Install any daughtercards, option cards, SIMMs, or DIMs that you need to add to the unit, as necessary. 3 Be sure that the four rubber feet are on the bottom of the enclosure. 4 Attach the power cord and cables to the rear panel.
Installing The Vanguard 6435/6455 Installing the 6455 Rack Mount Version Introduction This section explains how to install the rack mount version of the Vanguard 6455. Be sure that you have the mounting brackets that came with the unit. Installation Variation Rack-Mount Cautions When rack-mounting a Vanguard 6455, you can orient the unit in either of two ways: • Front Panel Forward: The front panel faces the front of the rack. This allows you to easily read the LCD panel display.
Installing The Vanguard 6435/6455 Installation Figure 3-3 explains how to install a Vanguard 6455 into an equipment rack. Large Mounting Bracket Extension Bracket Small Mounting Brackets For racks smaller than 24”, use the small mounting brackets in the rear. Front Mounting Bracket 1 Note: Do not remove the rubber feet from the bottom of the enclosure. The rubber feet prevent multiple Vanguard 6455s from being stacked too closely (and restrict air flow).
Installing The Vanguard 6435/6455 Thermal Considerations Introduction This section explains some of the heat and temperature factors that can affect your Vanguard 6435/6455. Fan After the unit is installed, power it up and check that the fan is working properly.The feet must be installed and air should be blowing out of the unit. Inlet Temperature After the unit is running, check the ambient air temperature. Make sure it does not exceed the operating temperature limits specified in Appendix A.
Installing The Vanguard 6435/6455 Cabling Your Vanguard 6435/6455 Introduction This section provides information to help you cable your Vanguard 6435/6455. Caution Before connecting cables to the motherboard or daughtercard ports (ports 1 to 15), be sure that the screws holding the motherboard in place are tight. If the screws are loose, the motherboard could loosen under the weight of the cables and cause damage to the equipment.
Installing The Vanguard 6435/6455 Caution Do not connect the Ports 3, 4, or 5 to the Public Communications Network. Note When installing a daughtercard with only one port, the port number is 7, 10, or 13 (depending on the location of the card). Rear Panel Ports There are five physical ports on the Vanguard 6435/6455 rear panel. Ports 1 and 2 These ports have Sync/Async DB25 connectors.

Warning Only qualified service personnel should perform the procedure described in this section.
Installing/Removing the Lithium Battery Routine Battery Replacement The lithium battery should be replaced every two years. Follow the instructions in Figure 3-16 to replace the battery. Before Removing/ Installing the Battery Before you remove or install the battery, you must access the Vanguard 6435/6455 motherboard as described in the “Accessing the Motherboard” section on page 3-16. Removing/ Installing the Battery Figure 3-16 shows how to install and replace the battery.
Installing Flash and CMEM Installing Flash and CMEM Introduction Release 6.2 and greater allows the Vanguard 6435 and 6455 to increase the FLASH memory and expand the CMEM area. Existing Vanguard 6435 and 6455’s can be updated to 8 Mbyte SIMM as long as the bootprom is also updated. A new bootprom is required to support the 12mb Flash option with the 128 kbyte CMEM. To use 128k CMEM, 8 Mbyte SIMM must be installed and the bootprom updated.
Installing Flash and CMEM Step Description 3 Power down the node and install the 8MEG flash SIMM. Power up the node. The node will come up, both flash banks will show "0" bytes and the CMEM will be cleared. 4 Use Vanguide only to download 6.2 image. 5 Download your saved CMEM. Method 2 This is the cleanest way to accomplish the upgrade to an 8MEG flash SIMM and is the preferred method. Step Description 1 Save CMEM.
Installing Flash and CMEM Considerations Regarding upgrades to release 6.2, it is recommended that method 2 should be used whenever possible. 1) When using Vanguide to upgrade to release 6.2, refuse the bootprom upgrade when asked, unless you have an 8MEG flash SIMM already installed. Then when upgrading to 8MEG is desired, follow recommendation "2" below. 2) If the node to be upgraded still has the 5.1 bootprom with a 6.2 image, it is recommended that you download a 6.
