The cabling should be carried out using the cables provided or using the
shortest possible lengths, to avoid interference from stray electromagnetic
fields.
The cabinets should be fitted with units from bottom to top to prevent the
cabinets falling forward.
It is strongly recommended that cabinets with extending feet are used to
ensure that the cabinet remains stable during installation and during any
maintenance.
☛WARNING (WI 2) Rack Slides - Never have more than one equipment
unit on extended rack slides as this may cause the cabinet to fall
resulting in personal injury and possible other damage. (12/97)
02 4 Preparation 04/01 2116-58-030 A
Preparation
System Air Flow
The air flow through the iQ Platform is front to back, that is air is drawn
through the front panels of each unit and expelled at the rear of the unit. The
cabinets that are to hold the system should be located carefully to ensure
adequate clearance to provide for the correct cooling of the system.
If the system is operated in a confined area, additional external forced air
cooling may be required.
☞Caution (CI 1) Equipment Ventilation - Ensure that hot air expelled from
one unit is not drawn into another as this may cause overheating and
subsequent damage. (12/97)

Electrical Supply
Description
☛WARNING (WI 6) Earthing - The equipment must be reliably connected
to earth. (12/97)
The cables supplied with the equipment should be connected directly
(shortest cable length) to an earthed electrical supply outlet.
American Standard: Black Live
White Neutral
Green Earth
European Standard Brown Live
Blue Neutral
Green/Yellow Earth
This product is a Class 1 apparatus (as defined in IEC 536) and its
accessible conductive parts must always be connected to the protective
(earthing) conductor of the supply installation by the green or green/yellow
conductor of the supplied 3-core cable, to ensure continued safety of both
apparatus and user. The supply installation should be protected so as to
safely interrupt prospective short circuit currents at the apparatus in excess
of 300 A.
Quantel supplies a 3-core Mains cordset, of the correct current rating, with
each item of equipment it despatches. These are full moulded assemblies
with a socket to IEC 320 sheet C13 or C19 at the equipment end and a plug
to either BS 1363 (for the UK market), CEE 7/7 (for much of the European
market), or NEMA 5-15 (for the US and Japanese markets).
Should it prove necessary to replace or modify a Mains cordset provided by
Quantel, either through loss, damage or incompatibility with local outlets, do
so only with an approved item of equal or higher electrical ratings which also
complies with local regulations for materials and construction (for example,
the UK IEE regulations or the US NEC).
2116-58-030 A Quantel Installation Manual 02 7
Preparation
In particular, the plug to be used in the following countries should comply
with the listed standards:
Austria: A5 3112
Denmark: Heavy current regulations AFSNIT 107-2-D.
DO NOT USE THE STANDARD EUROPEAN CEE 7/7 PLUG; although
the live and neutral pins will make contact, THE EQUIPMENT WILL NOT
BE GROUNDED.
INDIA: BS 546
ISRAEL: IS 32
ITALY: CEI 23-16/VII
RUSSIA: GOST 7396
SWITZERLAND: SEV 1011, SEV 6534-2. 1991
The colour coding of the conductors within the cordset supplied by Quantel
will comply with one of 2 colour coded cable types detailed previously.
Modifications to the cordset must only be undertaken by suitably qualified
persons. Any plug cut off during modification must be disposed of safety;
making it unusable and preventing any hazards arising from its re-use such
as accidental insertion into a mains outlet.
Electrical Supply Quality
It is recommended that the unit is connected to a “Technical Electrical
Supply”; free from interference and low frequency transients etc. The
electrical supply should be clean and sinusoidal, to prevent large transient
currents during the peaks of the supply cycle.
02 8 Preparation 04/01 2116-58-030 A
Preparation
Environment
Operating Environment
Care should be taken in the choice of installation environment to ensure
reliability. The following points should be remembered when installing the
system, to minimize possible failure:
iAvoid installations near sources of direct heat and avoid exposure to
direct sunlight or any other strong direct lights. These may cause heat
build-up within the unit.
ii Ensure that good air circulation around the rack is provided to prevent
heat build-up. Air holes should be given adequate clearance. Ensure
that no ventilation holes on the unit are restricted, because over
heating will occur.
iii Ensure that power and data cables are not run together and that they
are tied back to avoid obstructing the air flow.
iv Avoid areas where large temperature changes are possible as this
may unduly stress components, and may also cause condensation
damage to the system’s magnetic disk media.
vAvoid areas subject to vibration and areas where dust contamination
is possible.
vi It is recommended that the unit is connected to a “Technical Electrical
Supply”; free from interference and low frequency transients etc. The
electrical supply should be clean and sinusoidal, to prevent large
transient currents when the unit’s switch mode power supply unit is in
operation.
☞Caution (CT 2) Static Discharges - The Integrated Circuits and other
components within the equipment can be irreparably damaged by
static fields or discharge. Therefore, adequate precautions must be
taken to prevent possible damage. (12/97)
2116-58-030 A Quantel Installation Manual 02 9

rear of the unit (left and right), with the outer slides at the front of the
cabinet. When the inner and outer slides are aligned, begin pushing
the unit gently onto the rack slides.
vii The unit will move onto the rack a short way before the ‘buttons’ on
each side of the unit’s inner slides, will catch against the outer slides
and stop any more movement.
viii To continue loading, hold the buttons down and advance the outer
slides a short way so that the outer slides themselves hold the buttons
down. The unit can now be pushed further onto the rack.
ix The left and right buttons will stop the unit once more before it is fully
loaded into the cabinet. Again, manually hold the buttons down and
gently advance the outer slides a short way so that they press the
buttons down themselves.
xContinue pushing the unit all the way onto the rack slides and so into
the cabinet.
xi Once on the rack slides and in the cabinet, the unit should be secured
to prevent it accidentally being pulled out. The unit can be secured
with the screws (11-01-1454) and washers (13-01-0196). These
screws fit through the front of the unit and into the mount bar.

Electrical Supply Considerations
The Dylan HD disk arrays have dual independent electrical supply inputs,
switching and PSUs to provide fault tolerance. It is therefore recommended
that the two separate mains inputs to each unit are supplied from a separate
mains supply spur (of the same phase) to maintain the fault tolerance of the
compete system.
The System Connection schematic shows the left-hand electrical supply
input of each unit connected to supply 1 and the right-hand connected to
supply 2. It is recommended that supply 1 and supply 2 have separate circuit
breakers so if one of the pair is tripped by a fault condition the system will
remain operational.
☛WARNING: BOTH OF THE MAINS ELECTRICAL SUPPLY CONNECTIONS TO EACH
UNIT MUST BE REMOVED TO GIVE COMPLETE ELECTRICAL ISOLATION.
Cabling Considerations
The cable connections to the rear middle panel of the iQ Platform must be
looped and tied back so that the PC Sub-system can be removed for
maintenance purposes.

Attention Connection
A Description
The “Attention” port on the rear panel of the iQ
Platform provides a remote monitoring facility that
can be used to raise an alarm if a fault condition
occurs. This connection should be used to inform
the installation engineer that the machine
requires attention.
Connections to a change over relay are provided with a fused +5V supply
and 0V.
If a ‘loop back’ connector (Pin 7 connected to Pin 9, Pin 3 to Pin 5) is
installed here, then an alarm device inside the crate will sound when
attention is required.
Alternatively, an equivalent device or indicator can be connected externally
and situated in a suitable ‘Engineering’ location.

Startup & Shutdown Procedures
IQ Platform
The iQ Platform contains 2 separate
power supply units. One for the
Image Processor unit (in the front
compartment) and the other for the
PC sub-system (in the rear
compartment). These are turned on
using the switches on the rear top
panel of the unit.
The system is designed to be powered and operating continually. However,
when the system is to be powered-down and powered-up, the following
should be remembered.
A Initial Start-up
Before attempting to power-up the system for the first time, ensure that it has
the correct mains supply and that the system’s components are correctly
connected together.
B Normal Start-up
Always ensure that the control station components are turned on before the
iQ Platform is turned on or reset.
1. Install power connector. This supplies power to the
ATX PSU (in the PC sub-system) and activates the ATX
standby DC O/P supplying power to the rear panel
illumination LED's. Note that the front panel LED will
show Red as power is connected.
2. Switch on the breaker. This activates the standby
mode of the Image Processor unit PSU. Note that the
front panel LED will show Red.
3. Press the green button. This is the remote power
on/off switch and turns on the ATX PSU to supply power
to the PC sub-system and turns on the Image Processor
PSU to power to the Image Processor unit the unit’s fans.
Note that the front panel LED will flash red during system
startup then turn solid blue when the iQ program is
running to indicate that the system is ready for use.
2116-58-030 A Quantel Installation Manual 06 3
Start-up
Note that from power up the windows operating system takes approximately
1 minute to boot up then the system is available for use.
C Power-down Procedure
Always ensure that any graphics items have been saved.
1. Shut down the iQ operating system.
2. Press and hold the green button for five seconds, this
remotely turns off all main outputs returning both PSU's
to Standby.
3. Switch off the breaker, this turns off the Image
Processor PSU. At this point the rear panel illumination
LED's are still on.
4. Remove power connector.
Note that if the breaker is switched off before the ATX PSU main output,
then the PC sub-system remains powered and operating. Only the Image
Processor unit is powered down. To re-apply power to the Image Processor
unit, simply turn on the breaker.

System Status
Correct Operation
There are various indications that the system’s individual units are operating
correctly. These can give a quick indication of the system status if there
appears to be a failure.
IQ Platform
The status of the iQ
Platform itself can be
determined by the
diagnostics LEDs
behind the front panel
and via remotely via the
“Attention” port on the
rear of the unit.
The light in the bottom right-hand corned of the panel indicates the current
status of the iQ Platform:
Solid Blue System Happy (ie the unit is powered up and running
correctly).
Flashing Blue PC Sleep Mode (ie the unit is powered up and
operational but the PC sub-system has entered on of its
power saving sleep modes). Sleep mode is automatically
instigated if the PC sub-system has not been used for a
period of time.
Solid Red Standby Mode (ie the Mains is connected to the platform
but the unit’s PSU are not yet operational). A solid red
can indicate that the rear panel Mains switch (breaker) in
not in the correct position or that a PSU unit has failed.

A Interface Panel
The LEDs on the
Interface panel, at the
rear of the unit, indicate
the current operational
state of the Unit
(excluding the disk
carriers). Normal
operation is indicated
by all LEDs being
green.
SYS This LED when amber indicates that the unit’s
diagnostics have found an unexpected fault condition.
FAN This LED when amber indicates that there is a fan fail (or
fan stall) condition in one of the two PSU modules. The
amber LED one of the PSU modules identifies which one
is faulty.
PWR This LED when amber indicates that there is a power
failure in one of the two PSU modules. The amber LED
one of the PSU modules identifies which one is faulty. If
the power is turned off to one unit or the power cable is
disconnected it will be indicated in this way.
TEMP This LED when amber indicates that the unit has
exceeded its safe operating temperature.
The 20 green LEDs indicate the activity/status of the disk drives. After the
system has successfully run up should one or more of the disk LEDs
(0,1,2,3,4,5) be lit continuously this indicates a fault.
Under most fault conditions the unit will remain operable until the fault can
be cleared or remedial action taken. If any fault condition is detected the unit
will sound an alarm. This can be muted by holding down the “Mute” button
on the Interface panel. The fault condition will remain as indicated by the

A Tablet Care
The tablet itself is made of an expanded foam moulding. The combination of
different plastics and paints used in the production of the tablet restricts the
use of cleaning agents that can be used to ones that are alcohol based.
As with any cleaning substances test that no damage is caused to the plastic
and metal surfaces by applying the cleaning agent to an unobtrusive part
first.
Never clean the tablet using abrasive materials.
☛WARNING (WM 4) Cleaning - Always isolate the equipment from the
electrical supply before cleaning it, especially when using liquid
cleaners. Refer to procedures in the Installation and Technical manual
where supplied. Take note of the types of cleaner that may or may not
be used. (12/97)
B Pen Care
The pressure sensitive pen used with the control station is a delicate device,
and therefore great care must be taken to avoid damage when it is being
used or when it is stored. The following guide lines should be remembered
so that the full operational life of the pen can be ensured:
iDo not attempt to take the pen apart, as this will permanently damage
the pen.
ii The only user adjustment on the pen is replacing the nib. (See next
section).
iii Avoid using excessive pressure when using the pen as this will stress
the pen and increase wear on the tablet surface.
iv Avoid heavy tapping of the pen on the tablet or any hard surface as
this will cause damage to the delicate moving parts inside the pen.
vWhen the pen is not in use for long periods, the pen should be stored
away from areas of strong light as this may cause the plastic to
deteriorate and become brittle.
2116-58-030 A Quantel Installation Manual 07 3
Maintenance
C Changing the Pen Nib
The pen nib, when worn-out can be
replaced with one of the spare nibs
supplied. To do this the nib extractor,
also supplied with the pen, should be
used as shown.
Grip the pen nib with the extraction
tool and pull, firmly, in the direction
shown by the arrow.
The new pen nib can be inserted and gently pressed into place.
Fibre Optic Connections
The fibre optic transceivers used by this equipment are precision devices
and therefore care should be taken to extend their life and provide a reliable
connection at all times.
Before inserting a fibre optic ferrule into its socket follow these instructions.
•Always use a lint-free, isopropyl alcohol dampened cloth to thoroughly
wipe the side and end of the ferrule.
•Blow dry ferrule with clean compressed air.
•Visually inspect the ferrule for lint.
•After every de-mating cycle, clean and blow-dry the ferrule before
re-mating.
•Do not interchange connectors from one unit to another unit without
first cleaning the connector. Otherwise, ti may cause transferring of
small particles, which may cause damage to the device.
•If a problem persists, clean the inside of the precision bore by gently
rotating a lint-free swab with alcohol.

Hot Changing a Dylan HD PSU Module
There are two identical power supply modules fitted in the rear of the
enclosure. The fans within these units are independent of the actual module
and the fans in both PSU modules will remain operational even if one PSU
module fails.
If the PSU module or its fans fail the module should be left in place until a
replacement is available. The unit must not be run without both PSU
modules fitted.
☛Warning energy hazards are exposed if either PSU Module is removed.

B Fitting a PSU Module with the Power On
Carefully slide the PSU Module into the enclosure until the retention latch
clicks into place then secure using the single screw as shown in the diagram
above.
☞Caution: Ensure that the connector is not damaged during handling
and is free from any contamination (such as packing material).
Hot Changing a Dylan HD Disk Carrier
The unit contains 12 identical disk carriers which contain both data and
parity information. Once the unit has been used to store data the position of
the disk carriers in the enclosure must not be changed otherwise the data
and parity information will become corrupt.
If a single disk carrier becomes faulty (indicated by its amber LED being lit
continuously) it can be changed while the unit is running with a replacement
disk carrier. When a new disk carrier is installed the unit will recreate the
correct data on that disk using the data and parity information from the other
11 disk carriers.
If more than 1 disk carrier indicates a fault advise should be obtained and
under no circumstances should a disk carrier be changed without instruction
from Quantel. A multiple disk fault may indicate an underlying problem that
can be solved without replacing disk carriers.
☞Caution: Changing more than 1 disk at a time will cause permanent and
irreparable data corruption.
