NetLinx Integrated Controllers
Compact Flash Upgrades
The NetLinx Integrated Controllers are shipped with a default 128 MB Compact Flash module.
The Compact Flash card is factory programmed with specific Controller firmware. These cards can
be ordered from AMX in several different upgrade sizes (see the following table):
Accessing the internal components on an Integrated Controller
1. CAREFULLY DETACH ALL CONNECTORS from the rear of the unit.
2. Remove the chassis housing screws from both the sides and top of the Controller, as shown in
FIG. 17 by using a grounded screwdriver turning in a counter-clockwise rotation.
The NI-4100 has six screws on top and four on each side.
The NI-2100/3100 units have six screws on top and three on each side.
3. Carefully pull-up and remove the housing up and away from the Controller to expose the
internal circuit board (FIG. 17).
4. Refer to the following Installation of Compact Flash upgrades for detailed replacement
information.
Installation of Compact Flash upgrades
1. Discharge any static electricity from your body by touching a grounded metal object.
2. Locate the existing Compact Flash card on the main board. For more detailed information on
component locations, refer to FIG. 17.
3. Insert the tip of a grounded flathead screwdriver into one of the Card Removal Grooves
(located on either side of the card), and gently pry the card out of the slot. Repeat this process
on the opposite card removal groove. This alternating action causes the card to "wiggle" away
from the on-board connector pins.
4. Slip your finger into the opening between the connector pins and the card, and push the card
out to remove it.
5. Remove the upgrade card from it’s anti-static bag.
It is recommended that ANY MEMORY UPGRADE should be done prior to any
installation. Refer to the following accessing and installation sections for more
information.
