Section 3
Option Installation
This section explains how to identify and install 8150 options and
sub-assemblies. The 8150 is configured at the factory, but you may
upgrade your system later, or you may need to identify installed options.
Some option sub-boards plug into the 8150 Main board with standoff
supports. Others are SIMM type plug-ins. Still others plug into the rear
of the chassis or attach to the interior of the chassis. Figure 3-1, on the
following page, shows the Main and DVE board locations in the 8150
Signal Chassis. Remove the integral front cover/air filter to access the
boards.
WARNING: Removing the Main board
disconnects the RAM battery backup. Save all
effects, personality files, and engineering
setups to disk before extracting the board.
Use the Accom supplied tool to extract boards from the chassis. Lay the
board(s) on a clean, static free, grounded work surface.
NOTE: See the instructions at the front of this manual.
Observe all static electricity precautions you would
normally follow when handling static sensitive electronic
components. Handling the 8150 Main Switcher or DVE
boards (or the sub-boards) casually may cause failure.
