  Introduction to the EQ8096
1.4  Guided Tour 
1.4.1  Enclosure 
The enclosure is 2U and is used as a stand-alone unit. All inputs and outputs are via 
rear panel connectors, with the exception of the LCD and button input at the front of 
the unit (for setting IP address). 
1.4.2  Front Panel Description 
The Front panel of the EQ8096 is fitted with a single power supply unit (PSU1) as 
standard and may be optionally fitted with a second power supply (PSU2) to provide 
1+1 redundancy. When two power supplies are fitted, they operate in load sharing 
mode. Both are secured by clips and, if required, may be removed from the front of 
the unit. On the left hand side of the panel is a 2-line LCD display which may be 
used for local control configuration (see Chapter 2, Installing the Equipment for 
details). 
1.4.2.1  Front Panel LEDs 
There are 7 LED indicators, 3 located on the left of the front panel and 4 located 
across both power supplies, when fitted (see Figure 1.2 and Table 1.9).
