3.1 I
NTRODUCTION
Configuring a PERC2000 (P2K) control system requires you to install and set up the hardware,
install the P2K software and then establish communication between the controller hardware, host
PC and PESA routing equipment in the facility.
Whether installed in a video router frame or stand-alone chassis, the P2K hardware is functionally
identical. When installed in the 1RU stand-alone chassis, the card is attached to an extender tray
to allow it to fit the chassis card guides and midplane connectors.

ONTROLLER
Rack mount models of the PERC2000 controller are designed for installation in a standard 19-
inch equipment rack. Each unit should be located as close as possible to its associated equipment
to minimize cable runs. Sufficient space must be provided behind the equipment racks to allow
for control and power cables. All panel mounting holes should be utilized and mounting
hardware tightened securely.
Install the equipment into the rack as follows:
1. Insert the panel assembly into the equipment rack and support the bottom of the panel
assembly until all mounting hardware has been installed and properly tightened.
2. Install the bottom two panel-mounting screws.
3. Install the top two screws.
4. Install any remaining screws.
5. Tighten all panel-mounting screws until they are secure.
