“Wiring field card (WFC)” on page 48 Rackmount shelf To rackmount a BCM50 unit (main unit or expansion unit), you need a rackmount shelf. The rackmount shelf mounts in a standard 19-inch equipment rack. The BCM50 unit then clips into the tabs on the rackmount shelf.
Page 47: Patch Panel
If the BCM50 system includes additional units, you can clip another unit to a second set of tabs on the rackmount shelf. You can clip additional units to tabs on the top of the other units (see 13). Figure 13 Rackmount shelf installed in equipment rack Patch panel The BCM50 patch panel simplifies the connections of lines and extensions to the main unit.

The power supply adapter cord is for international (non-North American) BCM50 users. It connects to the power supply on one end and to the (C-14) BCM50 power bar on the other end. You require one power supply adapter cord for each power supply you want to connect to the power bar.
Page 50: Uninterruptable Power Supply
If you connect a UPS to a running system, the UPS will not function. The USB port on the UPS uses a different communication speed than the USB port on the BCM50 system. Due to this difference, you must use an industry-standard USB hub (USB 1.1-compatible) to connect the UPS data connection to the BCM50 system.
Page 51: Hard Disk
Cooling fan The main units have a single cooling fan. The expansion unit has two cooling fans (see Figure 19 Cooling fan Chapter 2 Introducing the BCM50 hardware “Replacing an internal component” on page BCM50 Installation and Maintenance Guide Hard disk Figure 19).
Page 52: Rj-21 Telephony Connector
When you use the page output to connect an external paging amplifier, you also use the page relay. The page relay connects to a floating relay contact pair. The BCM50 system uses the page relay to control the external paging amplifier.
Page 53: Router Card
The BCM50e main unit has a router card that uses an Ethernet interface to connect to a WAN edge device (for example, an external ADSL modem or cable modem). The BCM50a main unit has a router card that uses an ADSL interface to connect the BCM50 system to the Internet Service Provider (ISP).
Page 54: Telephones And Adapters
Business telephones and adapters connect to the RJ-21 telephony connector on the main unit and to the MBMs installed in the expansion units. The BCM50 system supports Business Series Terminal sets, IP Telephony-based sets, and analog telephony devices. The IP Phones 2001, 2002, 2004, and the IP Softphone 2050 have separate installation and operations documentation.
Page 55 Chapter 2 Introducing the BCM50 hardware The following telephones and devices can be used with the BCM50 system: Digital Phone 7100 — one-line display, one memory button without indicator. Digital Phone 7000 (not shown) (International only) — four memory buttons, without display or indicators.
