RealPresence Collaboration Server (RMX) 1500 Hardware Description
 Look carefully for potential hazards in your work area: moist floors, ungrounded power cables, frayed power cords, missing safety grounds and so forth.
 Locate the main circuit breaker within the room.  Locate the emergency power OFF switch within the room.  Never assume that power is disconnected from a circuit.  Use only the power cord supplied with the system.  The power cord should only be connected to a power outlet that has a protective ground contact.  Ensure that the power cord is easily accessible from the back of the system at all times.  Place the equipment in a well-ventilated area where the vents are free from obstruction.  Do not place heavy objects directly on top of the Collaboration Server (RMX) 1500 unit. Do not use liquids around your equipment.
Rack Mount Safety Precautions
The following precautions should be followed with regards to rack mount safety:  Keep the area around the Collaboration Server (RMX) 1500 clean and free of clutter.  Decide on a suitable location for the equipment rack that will hold the Collaboration Server (RMX) 1500 unit. It should be situated in a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated. Avoid areas where heat, electrical noise and electromagnetic fields are generated. You will also need it placed near a grounded power outlet.  Ensure that the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack are fully extended to the floor with the full weight of the rack resting on them.  In a single rack installation, stabilizers should be attached to the rack.  In multiple rack installations, the racks should be coupled together.  Always make sure the rack is stable before extending a component from the rack.  You should extend only one component at a time - extending two or more simultaneously may cause the rack to become unstable.  Before you install the rails, determine the placement of each component in the rack.  Install the heaviest components on the bottom of the rack first, and then work up.  Allow the power supply units to cool before touching them.  Always keep the rack's trays and card's slots closed when not servicing, to maintain proper cooling.
Installation Precautions
When handling electronic components, standard anti-static precautions must be observed: · Wear a grounding strap · Handle cards by their edges only and do not touch their components or connector pins · Keep components in anti-static bags when not installed in the Collaboration Server (RMX) 1500.
The following precautions should be followed with regards to installation of the Collaboration Server (RMX) 1500:

RealPresence Collaboration Server (RMX) 1500 Hardware Description
 Use a regulating uninterruptable power supply (UPS) to protect the Collaboration Server (RMX) 1500 from power surges and voltage spikes, to keep your MCU operating in case of a power failure.
 Place the Collaboration Server (RMX) 1500 on a hard, flat surface such as a desktop or mount it on 19" rack.
 The airflow of the Collaboration Server (RMX) 1500 is from front to back. Be sure that the areas in the front and rear side of the system are clear for proper ventilation.
Installing the RealPresence Collaboration Server (RMX) 1500
Sealed System! The Collaboration Server (RMX) 1500 is a sealed system, breaking the seal and opening the RMX chassis VOIDS the WARRANTY!

Assembling the Telescopic Rail Runner
Rack Rail Runners require a minimum of 48cm and a maximum of 80cm within the rack for installation.
To assemble the Telescopic Rail Runner:
1 Determine the location of the RMX on the rack:  Allow for a 1U gap above and below the system for ventilation.  Use the Rack Spacer (3) to predetermine its position on the rack post, making sure that square studs of the spacer fit into the rack post's square/rounded mounting holes. Mark the spacer's location on the rack post. Repeat this process for the 3 remaining vertical posts ensuring that the system can be horizontally seated.

ISDN/PSTN Clock Source
Each RTM ISDN 1500 has its own primary and secondary clock source. The first span to synchronize becomes the primary clock source and the second span to synchronize becomes the secondary clock source. This clock is used to synchronize ISDN spans only (it is not the system clock). A single clock source triggers an alarm that can be turned off by setting the appropriate flag in the system configuration.
RealPresence Collaboration Server (RMX) 1500 Power Supply
Subject to availability on the Collaboration Server (RMX) 1500 there are two types of power supplies (Power-One & Astec), both are identical in their functionality.
