Installation and Upgrading

NetLinx Integrated Controllers

7. To complete the upgrade process, close and re-secure the Integrated Controller enclosure by

using the procedures outlined in the following section.

Closing and Securing the Integrated Controller

Once the card has been replaced, close and re-secure the outer housing:

1. Align the cover over the unit and gently slide-down the cover until the chassis housing

openings are aligned over their respective openings along both the sides and top of the unit.

2. Begin pushing-down the housing until the cover is securely positioned over circuit board.

3. Insert the chassis housing screws into their respective locations, as shown in FIG. 17.

4. Securely tighten these screws by using a grounded screwdriver turning in a clockwise

direction.

5. Re-install all connectors and apply power.

Installing into an Equipment Rack

Use the rack-mounting brackets (supplied with the NI-2100/3100/4100 controller) for equipment

rack installations. Remove the mounting brackets for flat surface installations.

1. Discharge the static electricity from your body by touching a grounded object.

2. Position and install the mounting brackets, as shown in FIG. 19, using the screws supplied with

the unit. The mounting brackets can be rotated to accommodate your mounting needs.

3. Thread the cables through the opening in the equipment rack. Allow for enough slack in the

cables to accommodate for movement during the installation process.

4. Reconnect all cables to their appropriate source/terminal locations. Refer to the Connections

and Wiring section on page 29 for more detailed wiring and connection information.

 Verify that the terminal end of the power cable is not connected to the a power supply

before plugging in the 2-pin power connector.

Any new internal card upgrade is detected by the Controller only after power is

cycled.

Before completing the install process, it is recommended that you complete any

firmware upgrade of the NetLinx Control Cards. This upgrade involves physically

cycling power to the unit and can become cumbersome if the unit is already installed

into a rack. Refer to the Upgrading the NXC Card Firmware via IP (NI-4x00

ONLY) section on page 59 for more detailed information.
