Removing and Installing SCbus Interface Boards
1. Normally you should disconnect the AC power cord from the AC outlet and disconnect the optional battery
back-up assembly from the power supply; however, when necessary, you can remove or install some
printed wiring boards in an operating system. If you must do this, connect one end of a standard telephone
handset coil cord to the precharge port on the power supply. During step 5, you will connect the other end
of this coil cord to the precharge jack on the printed wiring board.
CAUTION
If the board you need to install or remove does not include a precharge jack, you must not install or
remove it in a powered system.
2. Install your static discharge wrist strap on your bare wrist; adjust it for a snug fit. Be sure that the strap is
touching bare skin and is not isolated by clothing. Connect the wrist strap cord between the wrist strap and
an AC or earth ground
NOTE: With the common equipment in the installed position, the ground lug on the side of the cabinet is an
appropriate grounding point since it should have a heavy ground wire connected between it and a good
earth ground.
3. Each new board is supplied in a static protection bag for safe keeping. When you are ready to install the
board, remove it from its static protection bag. Conversely, when you remove a board from the cabinet,
immediately place it in a static protection bag.
4. Locate the proper board slot. (Most line, station, and special purpose interface boards use the universal
slots.) When installing the first SCbus board, use the 6th (top) universal slot to insure a proper connection to
the PC power cable. Any subsequent SCbus boards installed do not require the PC power connection.
5. If you are removing or installing the board in an operating system, connect the free end of the precharge
cord that you installed in step 1 to the precharge jack on the line board.
6. If you are removing boards from the cabinet, remove the retaining hardware, pull the boards toward you
until their board edge connectors separate from the cabinet’s backplane connection, and slide the boards
free of the cabinet.
7. To install boards, orient them with the
left and right guides in cabinet board
cage. and press the boards firmly until
their board edge connectors properly
mate with the connection on the
cabinet’s backplane.
8. Make a final inspection to ensure that
all boards are oriented correctly and
mated properly.
9. Install and tighten the supplied screws
to secure the installed boards to the
board cage.
10. If you are installing line boards, note
that each board includes a ferrite collar.
Snap the ferrite collar around the cable
to provide protection against radio
frequency interference.
