Commissioning Overview

This section contains steps for commissioning the HiperMAX GPS shelf, ATCA Shelf, SDR blades and Switch blades.

 

ESD Protection

The ESD wrist strap terminal is located on the upper front side of the shelf, and must be used prior to working on any part or electronic component.

 

 
Commissioning steps
1. Power Distribution

There are two pluggable PEMs (Power Entry Modules). Each PEM provides power terminals for four 25A power feeds. There are two 30A fuses for each power feed at -48V and VRTN. The minimum input voltage is -40.5VDC and the maximum is -72VDC.

Before inserting any blades, plug in the shelf manager, turn on the -48V and measure the voltage on the PEMs. Note when the chassis are powered the fans go to full speed and then slow down once the Shelf Manager control loop kicks in. If the -48V is connected the wrong way the chassis will not power up.

2. GPS Receiver

See GPS Receiver Commissioning

3. Shelf Manager Configuration

If only one shelf manager is installed is should be installed in the upper slot.

See Shelf Manager Configuration

4. Commission Switch

See Commissioning Switch

5. Commission SDR Blade

See Commissioning SDR Blade

6. Power SCRTs

Apply Power to SCRTs

7. Over the Air Test

Set op a test ST and pass data over the system (ie FTP files)

 

Shelf Alarm Panel

There are 3 telco alarm LEDs (minor, major, critical), The teleco alarm push button that activates the alarm cutoff state (ACO). When ACO is activated, the active alarm LEDs blinks and all the alarm relays are deactivated. This button does not clear alarms.
