5.1 THE MODEL 1001R14 RACK CHASSIS
The Model 1001R14 Rack Chassis (Figure 5) has fourteen short range
modem card slots, plus its own power supply. Measuring only 3.5” high,
the Model 1001R14 is designed to occupy only 2U in a 19” rack. Sturdy
front handles allow the Model 1001R14 to be extracted and transported
conveniently.

The Rack Power Supply
The Patton NetLink rack system is designed to allow single or redundant
(dual) power supplies. Using the same mid-plane architecture as the
function/rear cards, the front function card and the power supply slide in
from the front, while the rear card and power entry modules slide in from
the rear. They plug into one another in the middle of the rack. The front
card is then secured by thumb screws and the rear card by conventional
metal screws..
There are no user-serviceable parts in the power supply
section of the Model 1001R14. Voltage setting changes
and fuse replacement should only be performed by
qualified service personnel. Contact Patton Electronics
