Installing the 20-Slot Rackmount Chassis  
Install the chassis first before installing any modules into a 20-Slot Rackmount Chassis. When  
installing the chassis, be sure to observe the following precautions to prevent electrical or  
mechanical damage:  
1. Protect the chassis from exposure to sunlight and electrical or magnetic fields.  
2. Ensure that the equipment rack remains stable, even with the addition of the chassis and  
its associated cabling.  
To install 20-Slot Rackmount chassis:  
1. Have four #10 screws and four clip nuts available (hardware may vary depending on  
rack type). The rest of the hardware is supplied with the unit.  
2. Locate a suitable location in the rack for installation and secure the clip-nuts onto the  
mounting rails. Use screws to attach the chassis to the rack.  
3. Plug the chassis into a reliable, filtered power source.  
4. Elevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the  
operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room  
ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an  
environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the  
Black Box.  
5. Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the  
amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.  
6. Mechanical Loading - Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a  
hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.

7. Circuit Overloading - Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment  
to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on over  
current protection and supply wiring.  
8. Reliable Grounding - Reliable grounding of Rackmounted equipment should be  
maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct  
connections to the branch circuit (e.g., use of power strips).  
9. All AC and DC versions are intended for use in a Restricted Access Location (RAL).  
Wiring Instruction Guidelines for DC Module in 2DC and ACDC  
1. Connection of a suitable grounding conductor to the grounding terminal at each  
power supply module (a minimum 14AWG copper conductor should be  
suitable bad on a 15A circuit breaker requirement).  
2. Connection of suitable supply wiring to the plus and minus terminals at each  
power supply module (a minimum 14AWG copper conductors is considered  
suitable based on the 11A input maximum). The input terminal block at the  
power supply module is suitable for 22-14 AWG copper wire.  
3. A suitable listed circuit breaker shall be provided in the building installation as  
the unit's disconnect device. The branch circuit rating (i.e. minimum 15A listed  
circuit breaker, etc.).  
DC Power Supply Module Wiring Instructions  
The following diagram shows the wiring configuration for a -48 VDC power supply module for

About the 3-Slot Desktop Chassis  
The 3-Slot Desktop Chassis series is a modular chassis platform designed for use with Black Box  
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) manageable series of modules. The 3-Slot  
Desktop Chassis is a 1U high, a Rackmountable, capable of offering redundant power supply  
modules, and supports a SNMP Management Module.  
3-Slot Desktop Chassis Features  
The 3-Slot Desktop Chassis series offers a line of models including single AC, single DC, dual  
AC, dual DC and ACDC version. All contain internal fixed power supply modules that are not  
end-user replaceable. It offers features such as redundant power supply modules,  
temperature monitoring, Last Gasp and an Alarm Reset Button.  
Alarm Reset, Last Gasp, and Temperature Gauge  
The 3-Slot Desktop Chassis ships with one or two AC or DC power supply modules,  
depending on the model. Fans are included in all models.  
Alarm Reset Button  
When one power supply module malfunctions, an audible alarm sounds indicating the loss of  
the power supply. The alarm can be silenced by pressing the Alarm Reset Button, located  
next to the power connector on the power supply module. If this occurs the unit needs to be  
returned to Black Box for repair.  
Last Gasp Alarm

Temperature Gauge  
The 3-Slot Desktop Chassis includes a temperature monitoring gauge with a heat sensor on  
the backplane of the chassis. Users define a threshold for chassis temperature via SNMP. If  
the chassis’ temperature rises above the specified level, the SNMP agent sends a trap  
(configured in iView²) to the administrator. There is also an LED indicator on the SNMP  
Management Module for chassis temperature.  
Installing the 3-Slot Desktop Chassis  
Install the chassis first before installing any modules into a 3-Slot Desktop Chassis.  
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.  
Use the 3-Slot Desktop Chassis. as a table-top chassis, mount in a Rackmount shelf or mount  
it to a wall surface.  
1. Install the 3-Slot Desktop Chassis by placing it on a flat surface.  
2. Make sure to leave adequate space on the sides of the unit to accommodate cooling.  
3. If mounting on a Rackmount shelf, align holes of the chassis to the shelf and secure with  
screws.  
The Rackmount shelf is sold separately. To purchase the Rackmount shelf (part number  
(LMC5238); visit the Black Box Product Accessories page:  
Rackmounting requires a Rackmount shelf for mounting up to two units side by side.  
4. Attach the cables between the chassis and the device that will be interconnected, and  
then plug the unit into a reliable, filtered power source.  
5. If mounting the chassis on a wall, place two #10 panhead screws (not supplied) on the  
wall according to the distance of the holes on the chassis, and then hang the unit on the  
screws.  
6. All versions are intended for use in a Restricted Access Location (RAL).

Fiber Optic Cleaning Guidelines  
Fiber Optic transmitters and receivers are extremely susceptible to contamination by particles  
of dirt or dust, which can obstruct the optic path and cause performance degradation. Good  
system performance requires clean optics and connector ferrules.  
1. Use fiber patch cords (or connectors, if you terminate your own fiber) only from a  
reputable supplier; low-quality components can cause many hard-to-diagnose problems  
in an installation.  
2. Dust caps are installed at Black Box to ensure factory-clean optical devices. These  
protective caps should not be removed until the moment of connecting the fiber cable to  
the device. Should it be necessary to disconnect the fiber device, reinstall the protective  
dust caps.  
3. Store spare caps in a dust-free environment such as a sealed plastic bag or box so that  
when reinstalled they do not introduce any contamination to the optics.  
4. If it is suspected that the optics have been contaminated, alternate between blasting with  
clean, dry, compressed air and flushing with methanol to remove particles of dirt.  
Electrostatic Discharge Precautions  
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause damage to any product, add-in modules or stand  
alone units, containing electronic components. Always observe the following precautions  
when installing or handling these kinds of products  
1. Do not remove unit from its protective packaging until ready to install.  
2. Wear an ESD wrist grounding strap before handling any module or component. If the  
wrist strap is not available, maintain grounded contact with the system unit throughout  
any procedure requiring ESD protection.  
3. Hold the units by the edges; do not touch the electronic components or gold connectors.  
4. After removal, always place the boards on a grounded, static-free surface, ESD pad or in  
a proper ESD bag. Do not slide the modules or stand alone units over any surface.  
WARNING! Integrated circuits and fiber optic components are  
extremely susceptible to electrostatic discharge damage. Do not  
handle these components directly unless you are a qualified service  
technician and use tools and techniques that conform to accepted  
industry practices.
