Powering on the Measurement Rack

Caution Do not proceed unless qualified personnel has reviewed all installation instructions, written warnings, and cautions.
Attention Ne pas commencer avant que du personnel qualifié ait examiné toutes les instructions d'installation, les avertissements écrits et les mises en garde.
Notice Before powering on your system, ensure all equipment is present. Make sure all system components are properly connected before proceeding.

Complete the following steps to power on the measurement rack.

  1. Connect an active network cable to the Ethernet port on the power entry panel (PEP).
  2. Ensure that the power inlet connector on the power entry panel (PEP) is connected to AC MAINs.
  3. Ensure that the main breaker (CB outlet) on the PEP is in the ON position.
  4. Ensure that the emergency power off (EPO) button on the EPO panel is not depressed.
  5. Ensure that the EPO button on the EPO panel is not depressed.
  6. Ensure that the PDU power switch is in the Remote position.
  7. Ensure that all RMX-4101 AC power switches are in the ON (1378) position.
  8. Rotate the main power switch on the EPO panel to the ON (1378) position.
  9. Power on the uninterruptible power supply (UPS):
    1. Press the power button (1378) on the front panel to power on the UPS.
    2. When the display shows EPO Activated Press OK to Clear EPO, press the OK button.
    3. Press the power button (1378).
    4. Use the up or down button to select Turn On Immediately on the display, then press OK.

Configuring the RMX-4101 Power Supplies

Complete the following steps to configure each RMX-4101 power supply in the measurement rack.

  1. Ensure that the AC power switch is in the ON position.
  2. Set the Communication Interface Selection to LAN for Ethernet communication.
    The LAN option automatically detects whether it is connected or disconnected from a network. It automatically looks for a network server and retrieves or creates an IP address, and broadcasts its IP address and hostname to all other devices on the network.
    1. Press the REM button. The REM LED lights.
    2. Press the VOLTAGE encoder; the display shows INtF.
    3. Rotate the CURRENT encoder to select LAn.
    4. Press the CURRENT encoder to enter selected parameter to memory. When the parameter is accepted, the display blinks once and returns to the previous level. The rear panel LAN LED lights green and the power supply receives the IP address.
  3. View the IP address.
    1. Press the REM button and rotate the VOLTAGE encoder to select IP.
    2. Press the VOLTAGE encoder and rotate it to view the IP address. The VOLTAGE display scrolls through IP1 and IP4 as you rotate the encoder. The CURRENT display shows the required IP address.
  4. Change the IP address to a static IP address. When you change the IP address from the front panel or through software, the RMX-4101 LAN switches to static addressing (and DHCP and auto-IP addressing are then disabled).
    1. Press the REM button and rotate the VOLTAGE encoder to select IP.
    2. Press the VOLTAGE encoder and rotate it to view the IP address. The VOLTAGE display scrolls through IP1 and IP4 as you rotate the encoder. The CURRENT display shows the required IP address.
    3. Rotate the CURRENT encoder to change the IP address and then press the encoder to set it. The VOLTAGE display shows LAn and the CURRENT display shows HOLd for about 1 s.
      Note If you set the IP address to one another device is using, the front panel LED blinks, and the address reverts to its previous status. Press any button to stop the blinking.
