Board Set Installation For information on installation of boards and cards reference the following documentation: ADC Board Set This document details the installation and setup of boards, cards, and devices specific to an ADC playout automation system. About CHP Power Supply Units (PSU) The power supply of the CHP chassis is a dual redundant unit with the same physical footprint as a standard AT power supply, containing two independent, hotswappable modules. Each unit is able to supply all the power requirements of the CHP chassis, and provides isolation, combining, and the control, status, and power distribution cabling. The original Claypower modules and the new Zippy replacement power supplies are functionally equivalent. There are, however, certain minor differences between them:- The Claypower and Zippy power supply modules are not interchangeable between the two housings. The replacement Zippy PSU provides 400W as opposed to the Claypower s 300W. (300W is sufficient for any CHP chassis configuration.) 205 Imagine Communications Corp. Proprietary and Confidential 0-February-205 Page 23 of 26

24 Computer Setup The internal CHP chassis cabling connects to the frame of the original Claypower unit, whilst the new Zippy has an umbilical cable running from inside the frame to the CHP connection points. The redundant power supply modules are secured into the frame with a latch on the original Claypower PSUs; the Zippy units are retained in the frame with a single screw. The AC power cord input connector is located on the bottom of the original Claypower PSU module whilst the Zippy IEC sockets are at the top. The instructions contained in this document are mainly for the 4U CHP, but all electrical connections are the same for both units. The 2U differs slightly with regard to mechanical mounting points but is easier to upgrade due to it being more open in construction.
