4. Insert each of the two AC or DC power supply modules into the rear panel slots. • AC Unit: Connect the female end of the supplied AC power cord into the module’s power inlet. Connect the male

end of the power cord to the main power source receptacle. There is no power switch so the unit will be powered on once plugged in.

Important Note: A six foot 3-pin plug NEMA 5-15P to IEC C13 18 AWG power cord is supplied with each power supply module. For connection to receptacles other than Type-B, replace the supplied cord with another IEC C13 18 AWG power cord with the desired plug. Note that the replacement requires connection to a 3-terminal mains supply outlet via a 3-terminal power cord for proper connection to the protective ground.

• DC Unit: Attach terminal lugs with #16 AWG or greater gauge wire to the -48 DC feeds, (A and B), ensuring proper color coding or polarity. Ideally, A and B feeds should be from independent power sources for redundancy. Connect the other end of the DC wires to the fuse panel after ensuring that the fuses are pulled. Reversing the polarity will not harm the unit over the short term, but is to be avoided if possible.

Important Note: Mixing AC and DC power supplies is not recommended as load sharing will not perform properly. The dominate power supply, one with higher voltage (>10 mV), will consume 60 to 100% of the total chassis load. Consult with ATX’s technical support for more information.

See section 9 for detailed information on the AC and DC power supply modules.

5. The chassis is now ready for installing application modules. Please refer to each application module user guide for installing and activation instructions.

POWER SUPPLY MODULES



9. Power Supply Modules

9.1 AC Power Supply DescriptionThe AC power supply model number CF-PS-AC is a universal 100-230 VAC module.

Important Note: Always operate the chassis with both power supply modules installed and active to maintain proper airfl ow through the chassis.

The modules operate in an active load share confi guration for redundancy. A single module will power the chassis with any application module confi guration without interruption in the event of a module failure. The module has a fi eld-replaceable fan that is variable speed according to the internal chassis temperature. The fan is powered from the internal power rail so its operation is independent of the module. In the event of a module failure the fan will continue to operate powered by the alternate power module. Two LEDs provide a visual indication of the module and chassis status as follows:

LED Function Value

FAN Replaceable Fan Status Green = NormalRed = Failure

PWR Power Supply Status & Chassis Temperature

Green = NormalRed = Power supply failure, chassis high temperature or internal power supply fan failure

9.2 DC Power Supply DescriptionThe DC power supply model number CF-PS-DC accepts a conditioned DC voltage range of 36-70 VDC.

Important Note: Always operate the chassis with both power supply modules installed and active to maintain proper airfl ow through the chassis.

CHAPTER 9:



The modules operate in an active load share configuration for redundancy. A single module will power the chassis with any application module configuration without interruption in the event of a module failure. The module has a field-replaceable fan that is variable speed according to the internal chassis temperature. The fan is powered from the internal power rail so its operation is independent of the module. In the event of a module failure the fan will continue to operate powered by the alternate power module. Two LEDs provide a visual indication of the module and chassis status as follows:

LED Function Value

FAN Replaceable Fan Status Green = NormalRed = Failure

PWR Power Supply Status & Chassis Temperature

Green = NormalRed = Power supply failure, chassis high temperature or internal power supply fan failure

CHAPTER 9:

CONTROL MODULE DESCRIPTION



10. Control Module DescriptionThe chassis controller contains the system software and provides the access for the user to provision and monitor the chassis and associated application modules. The controller is responsible for reporting the chassis related status and alarm events.

The chassis related alarms are reflected on the front panel LED as follows:

LED Function Value

Status Power Supply, Temperature & Fan Status

Green = NormalRed = Failure

The RS-232 port provides an interface to set module parameters and view the status. For remote access an IP address must first be assigned to the controller module via CLI connected to the controller module front panel RS-232 port.The DB-9 I-Display connector is the connection point for the hand-held display controller which aids in setting module parameters and checking the status. See ChromaFlex Operation Manual for detailed instructions.

PROVISIONING & MONITORING



11. Provisioning & Monitoring The ChromaFlex chassis provides the ability for local provisioning along with local and remote monitoring of the ChromaFlex chassis configuration, individual module parameters, and any alarm status conditions. There are four ways to provision and monitor the ChromaFlex chassis and modules.

1. Utilizing the I-Display hand-held display unit connected directly to the ChromaFlex controller module. 2. Utilizing CLI commands while directly connected to the ChromaFlex control module or remotely via a Telnet session

when the ChromaFlex chassis is networked by connecting to the chassis RJ-45 LAN Ethernet port.3. Utilizing the web-based Graphical User Interface (GUI) while directly connected to the ChromaFlex RJ-45 LAN

Ethernet port or remotely when the ChromaFlex chassis is networked by connecting to the chassis RJ-45 LAN Ethernet port.

4. Utilizing the SNMP Enterprise MIB attributes when the ChromaFlex chassis is networked by connecting to the chassis RJ-45 LAN Ethernet port and to the management network system.

The following diagram demonstrates the connectivity options for provisioning and monitoring the ChromaFlex chassis.

See ChromaFlex Operation Manual for detailed instruction on provisioning and monitoring the ChromFlex chassis with the I-Display, GUI application, CLI and SNMP MIB.

12. TroubleshootingCondition Steps to Check

Controller status LED and Power module PWR LED OFF (AC)

1. Verify that the power cord is plugged in.2. Verify that the AC Outlet is functional.3. Check the 4A fuse on the AC power input receptacle, replacing it if

necessary.

Controller status LED and Power module PWR LED OFF (DC)

Verify DC Feed is active and fuse is intact on fuse panel.Verify DC Feed is not reversed.

Controller status LED is Red

Check the rear panel power supply module PWR and FAN LEDs for further indication of the issue. Utilize the GUI application, hand-held controller or CLI to check the chassis temperature and power supply for additional alarms.

Power supply module PWR LED is Red

Indicates an issue with the power supply module. Utilize the GUI application, hand-held controller or CLI to check the chassis temperature and power supply for additional alarms. If the power supply is operational and the chassis temperature is normal it may indicate a failure of the power supply internal fan. Replace the module.

Power supply module FAN LED is Red

Indicates a failure with the external fan. Check to see if the fan is operational and replace if necessary. The indicator will illuminate if the fan is running full speed and the ambient temperature is greater than 65 degrees Celsius.
