3. Preliminary Information
3.1 Construction of the OpenCom 510
The OpenCom 510 is designed to be used in 19" rack systems. It comprises the fol-
lowing:
■ A 19" mounting frame for the modules. In a fully configured system, the fol-
lowing modules will have been installed (and all slots will be occupied):
2 power supply units, 1 control module, 12 interface cards. The interface cards
provide the system ports. The 19" frame of the OpenCom 510 is also referred to
as the 1-12 frame (signifying the number of slots for interface cards).
■ A backplane. The backplane provides the sockets for the control module and
the interface cards; it supplies the modules/cards with the required power and
system signals.
The OpenCom 510 comes fully assembled. By contrast with other systems, you will
not need to assemble the frame and backplane yourself.
A power supply unit and the central control module are built into the frame before
delivery. Interface cards ordered by the customer must be installed separately.
Please note: Interface cards may be installed by qualified personnel only!
For further information on installing modules/cards, please refer to Installation in a
19" Rack starting on page 25 and Installing Modules starting on page 26.
