2: Kits de actualización del panel iPatch de SYSTIMAX 360.
Todos los paneles y estantes de la gama SYSTIMAX 360, con la excepción del estante modular de cobre, se
suministran como estándar preparados para iPatch, lo que significa que se pueden actualizar en una fecha posterior
si es necesario. Hablamos del panel modular M4200i habilitado para iPatch anteriormente en esta lección que se
puede usar si se requiere una opción modular. Hay tres kits de actualización iPatch de cobre diferentes disponibles
para los paneles 1100 Evolve o PATCHMAX. Consulte el catálogo electrónico de CommScope para obtener detalles
completos.

3: Actualización de SYSTIMAX 360 Copper iPatch.
The copper iPatch upgrade kits come in different pack quantities. 24 port kits for the flat or angled 1100 panels,
PATCHMAX are packed in tens while the 48 port versions are in fives. The upgrade strips are similar to the one
shown here and are straightforward to install with a single jumper ribbon cable that needs to connect between this
and the panel bus.

4: SYSTIMAX 360 Copper iPatch Upgrade.
The first step is to remove and discard the labels from the front of the modules along the panel row, using a spudger,
a small screwdriver or a knife blade. Remember you will need to re-label the modules when you have finished.
The panel is now ready for the upgrade kit to be mounted. As the panel will probably be fully terminated it may help at
this point to unscrew it and pull it forward about 50mm (2 inch) away from the rack or frame. Take the jumper cable
that comes with the kit and identify the end with the connector that connects to the iPatch overlay. From the back of
the rack, feed the end of the jumper cable through the rectangular opening of the SYSTIMAX 360 panel, as shown
here. This connector is keyed so orient it before feeding it through the hole, to prevent possible damage by twisting it
afterwards. Connect the jumper cable to the end of the upgrade kit, then feed some of the cable back through the
hole before placing the upgrade kit over the ports and snapping it into place by sliding it to the left.
At the end of the panel, a ribbon cable retainer needs to be fitted so you will find it easier to put the retainer on the
cable and push it into position before removing the adhesive protection tape on the back of the retainer clip. Route
the rest of the panel bus jumper cable and put a second clip on it to ensure it won't get fouled when screwing the
panel back up to the frame. Confirm the bus cable is still connected at the front on the panel and replace the
decorative bezel before plugging the jumper cable into the panel bus. This completes the upgrade procedure.
7: SYSTIMAX 360 iPatch Fiber Upgrade Kits.
There are five different upgrade kits available for fiber shelves. Again see the CommScope eCatalog for details. The
360 fiber shelf shown here, like the copper version, is easy to upgrade even when the fiber shelf is in use as the
overlay kit is specially designed to allow this 'in use' fitment. The kit contains everything apart from a T10 Torx
screwdriver that will be required to secure the overlay to the front of the shelf.
8: Fiber Cassette Style.
Before starting the process, check the style of fiber cassettes fitted to the shelf. The first generation of cassettes or
couplers with the long edges are not compatible as the iPatch overlay will not fit. Also if using later InstaPATCH
cassettes that are fitted with internal shutters, the same will apply. Providing neither of these cassettes or couplers
are fitted, the upgrade can continue.
9: 360 iPatch Ready Upgrade - Fiber.
Pull out the shelf if sliding, which will make the task easier. If it is a fixed shelf it may need to be loosened in the rack
to help with access. Remove the smoked Perspex protection door and the plastic shelf cover.
Quite often forgotten is the re-labelling of the overlay until the panel is upgraded and it's very difficult at that point,
especially if fully patched with cords. If it is done at this stage, it will be so much easier. The kit comes with
replacement labels that are colored to match the fiber type in use in the shelf, so these can be used if required.
Remove the hinged dust covers from the cassettes and also the plastic frame surrounds if InstaPATCH modules are
fitted. Note, the hinged covers cannot be refitted once the iPatch overlays are in place so these can be replaced with
plastic bungs if available.
The instruction sheet that is packed with the shelf gives step by step details and there is also video available in the
download area of this lesson explaining the process. Included with the overlay kit is a long ribbon cable, corrugated
tube, tube clips and also ribbon retainer clips to ensure the cable is protected along its entire route. Note, on this
overlay unlike the copper one, the ribbon cable connects to the middle of the overlay.
13: 360G2 96F & MPO Upgrade Kits.
We have also mentioned that iPatch upgrade kits are available for both G2 96 F or MPO shelves and G2 UHD 96 F
and MPO iPatch ready versions of the shelves. The two kits are almost identical, but the UHD kit includes extra
components: front LED kit and plastic caps to number trays front and rear. The G2 upgrade kits include a total of 10
iPatch kits and all cables and components to update 5 rows to iPatch while the G2 UHD upgrade kits include 12
iPatch kits to upgrade 6 UHD trays to iPatch.
14: iPatch Panel Installation & Upgrade Support.
In summary, installing the latest shelves is similar in principle to the existing series of panels, but a few new elements
like backplane kit or front LED kit are present. The final step is to power up the rack and program the order of panels.
To complete this lesson, please review the installation videos and other PDF documents, including the 'Program
Order of Panels', available in the lesson download area. Remember that imVision installations require specialist
knowledge of the firmware and software, and your imVision-trained specialist should be involved in such projects.
