Technical Specifications

Installation Guidelines

• Ensure the system power is disconnected before inserting or removing the module from the FSC rack.
• Verify that the backplane connectors are clean and free of debris to ensure proper electrical contact.
• The module must be seated firmly in the designated rack slot to ensure proper grounding and thermal dissipation.
• Maintain adequate ventilation around the rack to support the specified operating temperature range of 0 to 60 deg C.
• When configuring redundant power supplies, ensure that all modules are properly synchronized according to the specific system documentation to allow for seamless load sharing.
• Handle the module using standard ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) precautions to prevent damage to internal electronic components.
