STEP 1)
Insert
module into card guides, ensuring that the module is inserted in the guides
for the slots intended.
Insert
module into card guides, ensuring that the module is inserted in the guides
for the slots intended.
Once
aligned in the slot, make sure the upper capture/eject handle points toward
the top of the subrack. The lower handle should point toward the
bottom of the subrack. Slowly push the module into the subrack until
the module first contacts the backplane connectors. This can be felt
as a sudden increase in effort required to push the module further into
the subrack, and the capture/eject handles will automatically begin to
point toward the user. This can be visually approximated by looking
at the lower capture/eject mechanism. An increase in effort required to
push module into subrack prior to initial contact with the backplane indicates
that the module is encountering some sort of misalignment or a blockage
of the card guides. Double check to make sure module is in the correct
guide rails or remove module and visually inspect the card guides.
Using thumbs, begin pushing on the top and bottom of the module, just to
the inside of the capture/eject handles, until the module can no longer
be advanced. Modules with fully loaded J0, J1, J2 and J3 connectors
will require a greater force (up to 60 lbs.) to seat.
When
the module is fully seated in this step, the Capture/Eject handle should
be aligned similar to this image.
Pull
the handles toward the center of the module. Module will "snap" into
position as connectors make full contact as the module locks into place.
Modules with fully loaded J0, J1, J2 and J3 connectors will require
a greater force (up to 60 lbs.) to seat.
