Installing the iMediaChassis/3
Install the chassis first before installing any modules into an iMediaChassis.
When installing the chassis, be sure to observe the following precautions to prevent
electrical or mechanical damage:
1.
Stay within the chassis’ power rating to prevent overload of supply circuits or
damage to any overcurrent protection and supply wiring.
2.
Maintain reliable ground, especially when connecting to a power strip instead of
directly to a branch circuit.
3.
Protect the chassis from exposure to sunlight and electrical or magnetic fields.
4.
Ensure that the equipment rack remains stable, even with the addition of the
chassis and its associated cabling.
SNMP Management Modules include two twisted pair ports, one for management
and one reserved for future use. The Management Module also features a DB-9
serial port, and supports SNMP V1/V2c.
Installing Management and Application Modules
Installing Applications Modules
To install a module:
1.
Remove the blank bracket (if present) covering the slot where the module will be
installed. IMC Networks recommends installing blank brackets in unused
module slots.
2.
Slide the module into the chassis using the card guides.
3.
Secure the module to the chassis by tightening the captive screw. (Refer to the
documentation shipped with the module for configuration information.)
In order to manage an iMediaChassis series, the SNMP Management Module needs
to be installed in the appropriate slot of the chassis.
Install the iMediaChassis/3 slot into the bottom left slot.
NOTE
This slot is ONLY for the Management Module; do not install Application Modules such as
media conversion and mode conversion modules in this slot.
