Polycom RMX 2000 Hardware Guide Site Requirements This section describes the requirements your site must meet for safe installation and operation of the system. Safety Requirements For your protection, please read these safety instructions completely before operating the equipment. • Look carefully for potential hazards in your work area: moist floors, ungrounded power cables, frayed power cords, missing safety grounds and so forth. • Locate the main circuit breaker within the room.
Chapter 1- Hardware Description • In a single rack installation, stabilizers should be attached to the rack. • In multiple rack installations, the racks should be coupled together. • Always make sure the rack is stable before extending a component from the rack. • You should extend only one component at a time - extending two or more simultaneously may cause the rack to become unstable. • Before you install the rails, determine the placement of each component in the rack.

Polycom RMX 2000 Hardware Guide Component Replacement The RMX 2000 is designed with ease of maintenance in mind. Most components are swappable and are accessible directly via the front panel or the rear panel. The following components can be replaced when they are faulty: • CPU (CNTL) Module • Multi Processor Module (MPM) Board(s) • Power Supply Module • Fan Drawer RTM IP Board Warning! • All maintenance tasks are to be performed by qualified, authorized personnel.
Chapter 1- Hardware Description Replacing the CPU (CNTL) Module The CPU module is the management system of the RMX 2000. Use the following procedure to replace a CPU (CNTL) Module: 1-14 1 Ensure that power switch to the RMX 2000 is turned OFF (O). 2 Unscrew the screws on the front panel of the RMX 2000 that secure the CPU (CNTL) Module. 3 Use the metal ejectors to pull the CPU (CNTL) Module out of its slot in the Backplane. 4 Carefully slide the CPU (CNTL) Module out through the front panel.
Polycom RMX 2000 Hardware Guide Replacing a Functional MPM Module Use the following procedure to replace a faulty MPM Module types F or H: 1 Ensure that power switch to the RMX is turned OFF (O). 2 Unscrew the screws on the front panel of the RMX that secure the MPM Module. 3 Use the metal ejectors to pull the MPM Module out of its slot in the Backplane. 4 Carefully slide the MPM Module out through the front panel. 5 Slide in the replacement MPM Module.
Chapter 1- Hardware Description Replacing the Power Supply Drawer A single supply unit powers the RMX 2000. Use the following procedure to replace a Power Supply: 1-16 1 Ensure that power switch to the RMX 2000 is turned OFF (O). 2 Unscrew the screws on the front panel of the RMX 2000 that secure the Power Supply. 3 Use the metal ejectors to pull the Power Supply Module out of its slot in the Backplane. 4 Carefully slide the Power Supply Module out through the front panel.
