INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing your American Fibertek MXRC-1 sub-rack. Please take a few minutes

to read these installation instructions in order to obtain the maximum performance from this

product.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

The MXRC-1 sub-rack is a standard 19" x 5.25" frame designed to accommodate up to twelve

fiber optic plug-in cards along with a MXRCPS-1 power supply.

SYSTEM COMPATIBILITY

Any plug in card with the model number beginning with the letter "MXR" can be inserted into any

of the twelve application slots on the left-hand side of the MXRC-1.

INSTALLATION

THIS INSTALLATION OF THIS UNIT SHOULD BE MADE BY A QUALIFIED SERVICE

PERSON(S) AND MUST CONFORM TO ALL LOCAL CODES.

The MXRC-1 may be mounted, using standard hardware, in an upright position, with the

backplane upward, inside a standard 19” EIA rack cabinet. It is important, as with any electronic

equipment, to provide sufficient airflow to prevent over heating in the cabinet. At least 1 3/4"

(1RU) of space should be allowed above and below the MXRC-1 to provide air flow. If more

than one MXRC-1 racks are installed, forced airflow may be necessary depending upon the

number of plug-in cards used in the over-all installation. It is necessary to add a 1RU fan unit at

the top of every three MXRC-1 sub-racks with 1RU spacing between them.

The far right hand position of the MXRC-1 is only compatible with a MXRCPS-1 series plug in

power supply. Please refer to MXRCPS-1 instruction manual for further information. Standard

American Fibertek MXR rack card modems can be installed into any of the remaining slots.

Insert the card all the way until the edge connector meets the internal bus connector and the

front panel is even with the front of the sub-rack. Then secure the fasteners by screwing in

snugly. Any card may be used in any open slot.
