CANOGA PERKINS 9151 Network Interface Device - Manual (Page 9)

Chapter 2
Hardware Installation and Functions
This chapter describes how to set up and install the 9151 and the interface modules as well as the
hardware features and functions of the 9151.
Before setting up the 9151, make sure the serial cable (required to connect the chassis to a VT100
type terminal or PC) and the Ethernet and fiber cables needed for your system are available. If the
9151 uses AC power, plan to mount it within 10 ft. (3 m) of the AC power source.
Install the 9151
The 9151 is tested and inspected before shipment from the factory. If there is obvious damage to the
shipping container, contact the carrier immediately.
Caution: Follow electrostatic discharge (ESD) safety precautions when handling Canoga
Perkins products, as with all electronic devices with static sensitive components.
1. Unpack the 9151. Keep the shipping container until the unit is installed and fully operational. In
the unlikely event that the unit is defective, contact Canoga Perkins Customer Service for a return
authorization number (RMA) and instructions on return shipment. For details, see Appendix A.
2. Mount the 9151 in a rack or as a standalone unit.
• Use the standard rackmount kit with brackets and screws to install the 9151 in a 19-inch rack or
use the optional 23-inch rackmount kit. The 9151 includes two sets of mounting holes.
• For a front rack mount, align the screw holes in the brackets with the screw holes at the front
of the side panel of the 9151, then secure the screws.
• For a mid- or recessed rack mount, align the screw holes in the brackets with the screw holes
in the middle of the side panel of the 9151, then secure the screws.
• To use the 9151 as a standalone unit, place it on a secure, flat surface within reach of the power
and fiber optic connections
3. Connect the power. The 9151 can be equipped for either AC or DC power.
• Plug the AC power cord into the socket at the rear of the 9151 and the wall socket.
Caution: Reversing the connections can damage both the DC source and the 9151.
• Connect power for the -48 VDC power supply.
• For a -48V DC source, connect the grounding strap between the Chassis Ground and
the +VDC terminals.
• For a +48 VDC source, connect the grounding strap between the Chassis Ground and
the -VDC terminals.
