Note:

We no longer include the console cable as part of the device package. If the console cable and adapter are not included in your device package, or if you need a different type of adapter, you can order the following separately:

  • RJ-45 to DB-9 adapter (JNP-CBL-RJ45-DB9)

  • RJ-45 to USB-A adapter (JNP-CBL-RJ45-USBA)

  • RJ-45 to USB-C adapter (JNP-CBL-RJ45-USBC)

If you want to use an RJ-45 to USB-A or RJ-45 to USB-C adapter, you must have the X64 (64-Bit) Virtual COM port (VCP) driver installed on your PC. See https://ftdichip.com/drivers/vcp-drivers/ to download the driver.

Four-post rack or cabinet

  • NFX350-S1

  • NFX350-S2

  • NFX350-S3

On four posts in a rack or cabinet by using the mounting brackets.

The holes in the mounting brackets are placed at 1 U (1.75 in. or 4.45 cm) apart so that the device can be mounted in any rack or cabinet that provides holes spaced at that distance.

Mounting an NFX350 Device on Four Posts in a Rack or Cabinet

Before mounting the device on four posts in a rack:

Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available:

  • Phillips (+) screwdriver, number 2

  • 6 flat-head 4-40 mounting screws (provided with the four-post rack-mount kit)

  • 12 flat-head M4x6-mm Phillips mounting screws (provided with the four-post rack-mount kit)

  • One pair each of flush or 2-in.-recess front-mounting brackets (provided with the four-post rack-mount kit)

  • One pair of side-mounting rails (provided with the four-post rack-mount kit)

  • One pair of rear-mounting blades (provided with the four-post rack-mount kit)

  • Screws to secure the chassis to the rack (not provided)

You can mount an NFX350 device on four posts of a 19-in. rack or cabinet by using the four-post rack-mount kit. (The remainder of this topic uses rack to mean rack or cabinet.).

You can mount the device a four-post rack by using the mounting brackets provided with the device.

Note:

When you are mounting the device on four posts, ensure that the rack is 21.5 in. through 31.5 in. deep if you will mount the device flush with the rack front and that the rack is 23.5 in. through 32.5 in. deep if you will mount the device 2 in. recessed from the rack front, thus ensuring that the protective earthing terminal is accessible through the opening in the rear mounting-blade.

CAUTION:

If you are mounting multiple units on a rack, mount the heaviest unit at the bottom of the rack and mount the other units from the bottom of the rack to the top in decreasing order of the weight of the units.

To mount the device on four posts in a rack:

  1. Place the device on a flat, stable surface.
  2. Attach the front-mounting brackets (either the flush or the 2-in.-recess front-mounting brackets) to the side mounting rails by using the six 4-40 flat-head Phillips mounting screws. See Figure 1.
    Figure 1: Attaching the Front-Mounting Bracket to the Side Mounting-RailAttaching the Front-Mounting Bracket to the Side Mounting-Rail
  3. Align a front bracket (either flush with the front of the chassis or 2-in.-recessed from the front of the chassis) along the side panel of the device chassis. Align the two holes in the front of the brackets with the two holes on the front of the side panel.
    Note:

    Each side of the chassis has twelve holes for attaching the front-mounting brackets to the device.

    Six holes on the chassis side align with six holes in the front bracket when the front bracket is mounted flush with the chassis front or recessed 2 in. from the front of the chassis.

  4. Insert M4x6-mm Phillips flat-head mounting screws into the two aligned holes and tighten the screws. Ensure that the remaining two holes in the front bracket are aligned with the two holes in the side panel. See Figure 2.

  5. Insert M4x6-mm Phillips flat-head mounting screws into the remaining two holes in the front bracket and tighten the screws.
  6. Repeat steps 2 through 4 for attaching the front bracket to the other side of the chassis.
  7. Have one person grasp both sides of the device, lift the device, and position it in the rack, aligning the front bracket holes with the threaded holes in the front post of the rack. Align the bottom hole in both the front-mounting brackets with a hole in each rack rail, making sure the chassis is level. See Figure 3 and Figure 4.

  8. Have a second person secure the front of the device to the rack by using the appropriate screws for your rack.
  9. Slide the rear mounting-blades into the front-mounting brackets.
  10. Attach the rear mounting-blades to the rear post by using the appropriate screws for your rack. Tighten the screws.
  11. Ensure that the device chassis is level by verifying that all the screws on the front of the rack are aligned with the screws at the back of the rack. See Figure 5.
