2) Install the Eclipse HX-Median to the standard 19 inch rack.
Note: Leave clearance on all sides of the matrix chassis to ensure
proper airflow. Do not block ventilation vents.
3) Check the position of CPU cards and interface cards, power supplies, and
rear connector panels. Later sections in this chapter give more
information on these items.
4) Apply AC power to the unit. The unit has two separate AC power entry
connectors for the two separate power supplies in the system.
4.2.1 Installing the power supplies
The Eclipse HX-Median system’s DC power supplies run on AC mains power.
Two identical Euro Cassette power supplies are provided to ensure that every
matrix has redundant power.
Each of the power supplies must be connected to a dedicated branch of AC
mains power. The matrix will continue to operate even if one of the AC power
branches fails.
Clear-Com supplies each matrix with power supplies already installed. When the
matrix is installed connect the power supplies to AC mains power using the IEC
power connectors on the matrix’s rear panel.
A fully equipped Eclipse HX-Median matrix (2 CPU cards, 7 interface cards and 8
interface modules) requires 100 - 240 VAC at 50 - 60 Hz with a maximum
dissipation of 300W.
4.2.2 Installing the rear panels
The rear panel of the matrix is constructed of modular, individually-installable
connector panels. Each port or expansion card has a corresponding rear-
connector panel:
An MVX-A16 rear panel has 16 RJ-45 connectors.
E-FIB rear panels have two fiber connectors.
E-QUE, IVC-32 and LMC-64 rear panels have 11 RJ-45 connectors.
64 rear cards have a MADI fiber connector, MADI input and output
coaxial cable connectors, and a coaxial Video / Word clock input.
Note: Clear-Com ships each matrix with the required number of rear-connector panels
already installed. Blank rear panels fill unused card slots.
To add a rear panel to the matrix:
