860508340 Important Safety Cautions The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to potential personal injury hazards. This product should be operated using only the power supply provided by SYSTIMAX Solutions with the Panel Manager. Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern. To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons, read, understand, and adhere to the following instructions as well as any warnings marked on the product. Remote risk of electric shock. Never install the product in wet locations or during lightning storms. Never touch uninsulated communication wires or terminals. Disconnected optical components may emit invisible optical radiation that can damage your eyes. Never look directly into an optical component that may have a laser coupled to it. Serious and permanent retinal damage is possible. If accidental exposure to laser radiation is suspected, consult a physician for an eye examination. Wear safety glasses to install the shelf. Although standard safety glasses provide no protection from potential optical radiation, they offer protection from accidental airborne hardware and cleaning solvents. Precautions Fiber optic trunk cable and jumper performance is sensitive to bending, pulling, and crushing. Minimum bend radius must be maintained during installation per the manufacturer s specification. Appropriate pulling socks must be used during installation, and pulling forces shall not exceed manufacturer s recommendations. MPO terminated trunk cables may use ribbonized fiber optic cable, which has a preferential bend axis. Use caution to avoid kinking trunk cables. ipatch high density fiber MPO adapters are equipped with protective dust caps installed in the front of all adapters. Prior to installation, clean the trunk cable and jumper connectors per the manufacturer s recommendations. All wiring that connects to this equipment must meet applicable local and national building codes and network wiring standards for communication cable. Care should be taken not to compromise the stability of the rack by installation of this equipment. ipatch high density fiber shelves are for use in restricted access areas only. IMPORTANT SYSTIMAX 360 ipatch shelves use infrared sensing technology and should be installed where they are not exposed to direct sunlight or other infrared sources. Save these instructions.

860508340 Instruction Sheet Overview To use one Panel Manager on the Rack Manager LAN to communicate directly with System Manager, you must install a Network Manager module and connect it to the Panel Manager. The Panel Manager with Network Manager module must be installed on the first rack on the Rack Manager LAN. We recommend performing this installation before mounting the Panel Manager on the rack. 1. If you are installing the Network Manager module on a new ipatch rack, perform the following steps: Step 1 Mount the panel bus. Step 2 Install the Network Manager module. Step 3 Mount the Panel Manager. Step 4 Connect the Panel Manager to the Rack Manager LAN. Step 5 Install the ipatch panels and provide power to the rack. Step 6 Install the other equipment in the rack. Step 7 Cable the ipatch Panels and other equipment. Step 8 Connect the Panel Manager to the ethernet network. Step 9 Configure the network settings for the Panel Manager. 2. If you are installing the Network Manager module on an existing ipatch rack, perform the following tasks: Step 2 Remove the Panel Manager from the rack and install the Network Manager module. Step 3 Mount the Panel Manager. Step 4 Connect the Panel Manager to the Rack Manager LAN. Step 5 Provide power to the rack. Step 8 Connect the Panel Manager to the ethernet network. Step 9 Configure the network settings for the Panel Manager. Step 1 Mount the Panel Bus (for new racks) The panel bus allows the Panel Manager and ipatch panels to communicate. Also, the Panel Manager supplies power to the ipatch Panels through the panel bus. The Network Manager module is connected to the Panel Manager, and the Panel Manager is connected to the rack s panel bus. The Panel Manager with Network Manager module must be installed on the first rack on the Rack Manager LAN. To install the panel bus for the rack, see the SYSTIMAX ipatch System Panel Manager Guide (860442573) Step 2 Install the Network Manager Module 1. If the Panel Manager where the Network Manager is to be installed is already installed on the rack, remove the Panel Manager from the rack: Unplug the power adapter from the electrical service outlet. Note: If a redundant power supply is being used, unplug the power adapter for the redundant supply from the electrical service outlet. Page 4 of 15

Strain relief strap Power jumper Figure 4 Connecting the Power Jumper from the Network Manager Module to the Panel Manager Step 3 Mount the Panel Manager To install the Panel Manager for the rack, see the SYSTIMAX ipatch System Panel Manager Guide (860442573). Step 4 Connect the Panel Manager to the Rack Manager LAN The ipatch Manager units in an equipment room communicate with each other using the Rack Manager LAN. Modular patch cords can be used to make the Rack Manager LAN connections. A 7-foot patch cord is provided with the Panel Manager for this purpose. You can use a longer modular patch cord if necessary. The ipatch Manager units are connected to each other in series using the RACK MGR INPUT and OUTPUT jacks on the back of the ipatch Manager units. Page 6 of 15
860508340 Important: The Panel Manager with a Network Manager module installed must be the first unit connected to the Rack Manager LAN. 1. Connect a modular patch cord to the RACK MGR OUTPUT jack on the back of the Panel Manager (Figure 5). 2. Run the patch cord to the next ipatch Manager. Connect the patch cord to the RACK MGR INPUT jack on the back of that ipatch Manager. Modular patch cord Figure 5 Making the Rack Manager LAN Connection Step 5 Install the ipatch Panels (for New Racks) and Provide Power to the Rack 1. Install the ipatch Panels on the rack. For instructions, see the installation instructions provided with the panel. Note: Make sure that each ipatch Panel is securely connected to the panel bus. The most common problems that occur with equipment installation are due to improper panel bus jumper connections at the panel or at the panel bus. 2. Using the power adapter provided with the Panel Manager, connect the power adapter plug to the PWR IN1 jack on the back of the Network Manager. Route the power adapter cord along the patch cord connected to the Panel Manager (Figure 6). Note: Remove the strain relief strap from the Panel Manager display patch cord. It will be used later to provide strain relief for the power adapter cord. Power adapter cord Figure 6 Connecting the Power Adapter Page 7 of 15
860508340 Instruction Sheet Press the latch to the open position. Remove the plastic protecto r. Insert the edge of the plug into the adapte r. Then press on the plug until it snaps into place. Figure 7 Modifying the Power Adapter 3. Modify the power adapter for use with the local configuration for electrical service outlets: Select the appropriate AC plug. Holding the power adapter in one hand, use your thumb to press the spring-loaded latch on the back of the adapter to the open position (Figure 7). Use your forefinger and thumb on your other hand to grasp the bottom edge of the plastic protector. Then remove the plastic protector, exposing the mating prongs. Release the spring-loaded latch. Insert the tabbed edge of the AC plug into the top of the opening in the power adapter. Then press on the plug until it snaps into place. 4. Plug the power adapter into an electrical service outlet. Note: A redundant power supply can be attached to the NET MGR PWR2 jack on the back of the Network Manager module. When using a redundant power supply, use the strain relief strap to secure both power adapter cords to the patch cord connecting the Network Manager module and the Panel Manager. 5.
