Chapter 2 Installation and Configuration

Hallway and Door Width Requirements

Verify that all doors, elevators, and passageways en route to the final location are large enough to

allow passage of the crated system. The crated system requires the use of a floor jack or forklift to

engage the pallet and lift the crated system. Consider this when evaluating hallways, doors, and

elevators along the route the system must travel.

If obstacles or lack of space restrict adequate crate movement, remove the system from the pallet

the receiving area and push it on the cabinet casters to the final destination.

The system is equipped with four rack mounted casters for easy movement throughout the facility.

Due to weight distribution of the instrumentation, the system is most stable during movement when

you push from the front or back of the rack. Avoid side-to-side movement except for final

positioning.

Caution Deploying the rack from the shipping crate requires moving it in a

back-to-front

direction. Never stand directly in front of the rack when loading or

unloading from a

shipping carton.

Uncrating the System

Note Do not discard any parts or packaging until you complete the system bring up

and verification process.

1. Carefully cut the two vertical straps affixed to the container.

Figure 2-4. Cutting Vertical Straps

2. Remove clamps securing the ramp.

3. Lower the ramp and ensure ramp is attached to the crate using metal track on the

base assembly.

4. Unscrew the four bolts on either side of the container (1/2 in. wrench or socket).

ATE Core Configurations RMX-10011 User Manual

5. Remove the removable block at the top of the ramp.

6. Roll the rack out of the crate using the ramp.

7. Remove VpCI bag.

8. Move the system to its designated area.

Mechanical Stability and Loading

Precautions were taken in designing your rack configuration to ensure physical stability of the

system. It is designed to not easily overbalance or tip. When adding equipment to the rack, it is

important to preserve stability.

• For IEC 61010-1 compliance, the rack and all its equipment must weigh less than 1,000 lb.

(453.5 kg), evenly distributed between each caster. Contact NI for more information about

the weight of your rack as received.

• There may be steel ballast plates at the bottom of the rack. Do not remove the steel ballast

plates. They are intended to improve the stability and safety of the rack based on its

specific configuration.

Caution Stability is based on the specific configuration of the system ordered,

when fully assembled. Your system may be shipped in separate crates or boxes.

Use caution to ensure stability while moving your system, and prior to assembly of

the configured system.

Caution If you remove equipment from the rack, it may no longer be compliant

with IEC 61010-1 stability standards. Ensure that any modifications you make to the

rack configuration maintain sufficient stability in accordance with IEC 61010-1.

Any modifications made to the system not specified by the manufacturer may reduce

the personal safety measures employed and compliance with IEC 61010-1.

Such modification, removal, or installation of equipment must be done by a qualified

and trained service person.

• To further improve the stability of the rack, it may be tethered to the floor or a wall. Make sure

to keep all cooling clearances open if the rack is to be tethered. Ensure your tether is sufficient

for the weight of the rack. Tethering should be done in accordance with local practices, and

any securement should be made between the system frame and the surrounding structure by

mechanical means able to support four times the load of the system.

• To ensure rack stability, any equipment over 10 lb. (4.5 kg) that hangs permanently outside

of the rack must have external support such as legs.

• Before servicing the ATE Core Configurations, physically remove the Mains plug from the

power outlet.

• A minimum 20 A switch or circuit breaker must be provided in the installation for fully

disconnecting/removing power for the high power, 3-phase systems. This device must be

suitably located, easily reached, and identified as the disconnecting device for this system.

Caution You must press the Emergency Power Off (EPO) button, or turn the Main

Power Switch on the EPO to the off position, to fully disable the UPS output power

if the system includes the optional UPS.

Caution Verify the AC source and service conductor are sized correctly before

connecting the system.

ATE Core Configurations RMX-10011 User Manual

Cooling Requirements

The ATE Core Configurations ship with several features to help facilitate proper cooling, but due

to instrumentation layout, third party devices, cabling, and mass interconnect, it is important to

do a thorough thermal assessment of the final system assembly.

Each system ships with either a high or low speed fan panel including six 120 mm fans capable

of driving a total of 540 CFM in the low speed fan panel configuration, or 1350 CFM in the high

speed fan panel configuration. Additional airflow can be added with a 1U rack mount fan panel

that utilizes three 4 in. fans (270 CFM) for targeted areas within the rack.

Each system configuration also includes a 4U vent below the rear door to facilitate airflow into

the rack. Air filters are provided and it is recommended they be properly maintained based on

environmental conditions. These filters are user serviceable and replacement kits are available

ni.com.

Note Do not block the top (exhaust vent) or air intake.

NI recommends maintaining 2U of open space directly above and below the Power Entry Panel

to allow for proper airflow through the panel.

NI also recommends against adding equipment to the top 1U of the rack, or modifying the

position of the PDU and Ethernet switch located at the top of the rack. NI has validated sufficient

cooling with the PDU and Ethernet switch in their pre-installed locations.

Exhaust

The exhaust air from all instruments should have an unobstructed pathway to exit the rack.

Arrange instruments to provide a continuous airflow path from all instrument outlets.

Operator Safety Information

Cables and connectors are considered inaccessible if a tool (screwdriver, wrench, socket, etc.) or

key (equipment in a locked cabinet) is required to gain access to a conductive surface connected

any cable conductor.

Caution Access is prohibited to operators and is to be done by a trained service

person only.

Caution Filler panels shall be installed in all empty slots on the front of the rack so that

operator access to interior equipment surfaces is restricted.

Caution Verify equipment under test has adequate insulation between the cable

connections and any operator-accessible parts (doors, covers, panel shields, cases,

cabinets, etc.).

Safety Features

Safety Shutoff Thermostats

ATE Core Configurations has two safety shutoff thermostats (or four if the system is configured

with a UPS) on the interior surface of the fan cooling panel located at the top of the rack.

The thermostats are configured to shut the system off in the event the rack is unable to provide

adequate cooling, preventing a safety hazard to the user. When triggered by a severe over

temperature event, the thermostats will shut down the system by cutting power at the Power

Entry Panel AC outlet(s), immediately shutting off power to any downstream equipment

(including the PDUs).

Caution Once the thermostats have tripped, any touchable or accessible surface

should be allowed to cool to 65° C before servicing the system. All service must be

done by a trained service person.

To reset the thermostats once they have tripped, locate the thermostats on the interior surface of

the fan panel at the top of the rack, and depress the red button located on the bottom facing

surface of each thermostat. The system should now power on as normal once the powering on

procedure has been utilized. Refer to the Powering On section of Chapter 4, System Bring Up,

for more information about this procedure.

If the thermostats have tripped it is likely a result of a fault in the system (such as a fan failure)

and should be addressed before the system is allowed to resume normal operation.

Caution Do not attempt to reset the thermostats until their temperature is below 45° C.

3-4 | ni.com

Chapter 3 Safety Information

Note The thermostats are configured so they will not activate under normal

operating conditions, recommended power levels, cooling configuration, and

ambient environment. If the thermostats are triggered and no equipment fault can be

found in the system, the system may be configured in such a way that there is an

extreme thermal load in a small area of the system. Care should be taken to configure

the system so thermal loads are spread evenly throughout the interior of the system.

Caution Switch off the Main Breaker before attempting to reset the thermostats.

Emergency Power Off (EPO) Panel

The EPO Panel can be used to disable the PEP, PDU(s), optional UPS, and any equipment

connected to them.

EPO Temperature Controller

The secondary temperature controller on the EPO panel is user configurable and can be used to

control the operation of the system for thermal performance, but is not a safety temperature

protective device.

Circuit Protection

Several layers of circuit protection are designed into the systems. The Power Entry Panel has

circuit protection to ensure the overall system does not draw current beyond the Mains power

limit.

Walls and Rear Door

All configurations come with pre-installed removable side walls and locking rear door. Side

panels utilize quarter-turn inset screws for easy serviceability. The rear door may be easily

removed using the spring-loaded hinges attaching it to the rack frame.

Grounding

The Power Entry Panel must be connected to a power source that has a proper ground. You

should be able to choose any piece of equipment in the test system that is an end power consumer

and follow its path to ground back to the Power Entry Panel.

System Bring Up

Before powering on your system, ensure all equipment is present. Make sure all system

components are properly connected before proceeding. Your ATE Core Configurations system

will arrive from NI without interconnects between the modules and devices.

Note Your exact configuration may consist of all the required elements and any

optional components.

USB Ports

The Power Entry Panel has two USB ports which provide access to extension cables within the

rack. These cables can be connected to provide external access to USB ports on internal equipment.

Ethernet Port

The Power Entry Panel has an Ethernet port connected to a switch inside the rack to facilitate

network connectivity to internal equipment. Refer to Figure 1-5, Cutaway View of Ethernet

Switch Location for more details about the Ethernet Switch location.

Connecting to a Network

Complete the following steps to connect the ATE to a network.

1. Connect an active network cable to the Ethernet port on the Power Entry Panel

2. Configure the network and user settings according to the standard practices of your facility

and within the IP address setting restrictions.

Removing Power

Caution To completely interrupt power to a single phase system, you must

disconnect the AC power cable. Do not position equipment so that it is difficult

to disconnect the cable.

To completely interrupt power to a three phase system, you must switch off the main

breaker on the Power Entry Panel. Do not position equipment so that it is difficult to

access the main breaker. Do not proceed unless qualified personnel has reviewed all

installation instructions,

written warnings and cautions.

Caution You must press the Emergency Power Off (EPO) button, or turn the Main

Power Switch on the EPO to the off position, to fully disable the UPS output power

if the system

includes the optional UPS.

Power Distribution Unit (PDU)

A PDU takes an input power signal and distributes it to a number of outlets that can power

components of the system. These internal power outlets from the PDU have a rated voltage

and current and are available for both alternating and direct current.

• Low Power ATE Core Configuration systems utilize a single-phase PDU that supports

global voltages (100-240 V, 50-60 Hz) and has a 20 A (IEC C19) input connector which

cables directly to the Power Entry Panel.

• Mid Power ATE Core Configuration systems support double the total system power of the

low-power systems. Mid Power systems utilize two of the single-phase PDUs with the

exception that the second PDU does not provide DC outputs. Both PDUs wire directly

to the Power Entry Panel.

4-4 | ni.com

Chapter 4 System Bring Up

• High Power ATE Core Configuration systems utilize a three-phase PDU that supports

global voltages (200-208 V Delta and 380-415 V Wye, 50-60 Hz) and has a fixed 16 A

(IEC 60309 3P + N + E) power cable which connects directly to the Power Entry Panel.

Refer to your Power Distribution Unit user documentation for more information about the PDU.

Emergency Power Off (EPO) Panel

When a test system encounters a serious issue or an emergency is taking place in the facility,

operators need the ability to quickly and cleanly power off the test system. EPO mechanisms are

included on the ATE Core Configurations to simplify connectivity and inhibit power switching.

Operators may use the EPO to reset a system in an error state, prevent damage to a DUT, or even

prevent harm to themselves.

Figure 4-3. EPO Panel

Emergency Power Off (EPO) Button

The EPO button is one way to control whether the system is powered. If the EPO button is

pressed, power will not flow past the PEP or optional UPS. To release the EPO button once

it has been pressed, rotate it clockwise.

Main Power Switch

The Main Power Switch is the primary way of controlling whether the system is active. It toggles

between two positions: Standby and On.

Temperature Controller

The Temperature Controller (AutomationDirect SL4824-RR-D) will shut off the rack if the

internal temperature reaches a certain user programmable level. The controller measures

temperature based on the location of the attached thermocouple.

Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS)

You can use the UPS to power critical components in your system during power loss, brownouts,

and during normal operation as well. The UPS delivers power with a dependable voltage and

current supply. It acts as a battery power supply after a power outage or significant brownout.

Refer to your Uninterruptable Power Supply user documentation for more information about the UPS.

Power States

The ATE Core Configuration system has multiple states of operation:

• Off—The system is entirely disabled with no power passing through the line filter or any

internal test system components.

To turn power off, switch the Main Beaker on the Power Entry Panel to the off position, or

disconnect Mains power from the Power Entry Panel.

• Standby—DC power is passing out of the PEP and into the thermostat EPO panel in the

Standby state.

The system is in Standby MAINs power is connected to the PEP and Main Breaker on the

PEP is in the on position, but one (or more) of the following is true:

– EPO button is depressed

–Main Power Switch on EPO Panel is off

– Temperature controller on the EPO Panel is reading a higher temperature than the

programmed shutoff value

– Safety shutoff thermostats have detected an unsafe air exit temperature

• On—A change to this state begins the main power on sequence of the test system. All

PDUs receive AC power and enable outlets to other system equipment.

• Emergency Power Off (EPO)—The EPO immediately cuts AC power from the PEP,

PDU(s), and optional UPS when a user or system monitor recognizes an unacceptable

operating condition. This returns the system to the Standby state until the EPO button is

released. The system will power back up once the EPO button is released, unless the Main

Power switch or Main Breaker are turned off.

ATE Core Configurations RMX-10011 User Manual

Maximum Thermal Load

The following tables represent the maximum power that can be dissipated inside the rack for a

given ambient environment, fan panel selection, and lowest thermally rated equipment installed

in the rack. Additional power beyond the rated levels can be passed through to equipment

located externally to the rack (for example, using NI 1U RMX DC Power Supplies to power a

device under test where the load is physically outside of the rack).

Caution The ATE Core Configurations have been validated and rated to work with

certified equipment with ambient temperature ratings that fall within the maximum

internal temperature ratings of 45 °C or 50 °C in the following tables.

Equipment with ambient temperature ratings below 45 °C have not been validated to

work with the ATE Core Configurations systems. If equipment rated below 45 °C is

used, care must be taken to ensure the operating conditions of the equipment are not

violated. Consideration should be given to the thermal load around the equipment, the

location of the equipment’s air intake, exhaust air location of nearby equipment, and

the end use ambient environment the system will be installed in.

Please refer to following examples for guidelines on using the tables.

Example 1 A mid power rack will be used in a typical manufacturing

environment (28 °C ambient) with a low speed fan panel, and the

rack configuration will include equipment that has operational

ambient temperature ratings up to 45 °C. The maximum power

that can be dissipated in this rack is 2,550 W.

Example 2 A high power Wye three phase rack will be used in a typical room

temp environment (23 °C ambient) with a high speed fan panel,

and the rack configuration will contain equipment that has

operational ambient temperature ratings of 50 °C (and no

equipment with a maximum rating below 50 °C). The maximum

power that can be dissipated in this rack is 8,500 W.

Note The ambient temperature ratings and power dissipation limitations in the chart

above do not guarantee the thermal performance of equipment in the rack, only that the

rack contains adequate cooling capacity to provide the rated internal rack ambient

needed to support properly rated and installed equipment. Ensure that individual pieces

of equipment installed in the rack are within their specified operational ranges.

Note All equipment inside the rack must be powered, directly or indirectly, through

the rack Power Entry Panel. Other sources of external power must not be used.
