3.6 Inserting Module Cards
Each slot in the 20-slot rack will accept any type of module, outside of the
CML or CML/NM modules. Insertion or removal of modules requires no
powering down of the RADring, and does not affect the operation of other
modules already installed in the RADring.
1. Select an appropriate slot for the module, according to the required
configuration.
2. Set the jumper settings as required (see Chapter 5).
3. Before insertion, check that the component side of the board faces to
your right.
4. Slide the module into the slot until it is properly aligned with the
connector of the mother board.
5. Press Gently on the module to fully insert it into the connector on the
mother board.
6. Secure the module by hand tightening its panel screws.
7. the rack unit is under power, the PWR LED will light.
Caution
Static electricity can severely damage micro-circuits. Avoid contact with
components on the modules, and avoid placing them on metal surfaces.
3.7 Removing Module Cards
Insertion or removal of modules requires no powering down of the RADring,
and does not affect the operation of other modules already installed in the
RADring.
1. Locate the module to be removed.
2. Loosen the panel screw holding the module in place.
3. Release the module by gently pulling the lever forward on its bottom
grip.
4. Pull the module card clear of the card slot avoiding contact with its
components.
Caution
Removal of a lobe access module which has termination set for “ON” may
cause two separate rings to form a single ring. (The exception being if the
next, adjacent ring is terminated by a Ring In module.)
