3.3.5 Installing the Control Module
The primary Control Module always resides in the CM slot. If you need to replace the primary Control Module in the
CM slot, or if you want to install a redundant Control Module in slot CM/1, use the following procedure. You will need
a #2 Phillips-head screwdriver to perform this procedure.
Note
If you plan to install a redundant Control Module, see Section 4.9, "Using
Redundant Control Modules."
1.
If a cover plate is installed over the Control Module slot, use the #2 Phillips-head screwdriver to
remove it.
2.
Slide the Control Module all the way into the slot, firmly but gently pressing to ensure that the pins
on the back of the Control Module are completely seated in the backplane.
Note
Make sure the circuit board (and not the metal plate) is between the card guides,
as shown in Figure 3-7. Check both the upper and lower tracks.
3.
Use the #2 Phillips-head screwdriver to tighten the captive screws on each side of the Control
Module to secure it to the chassis.
4.
You are now ready to install the Control Module’s PC flash card, and to connect the management
cables to the Control Module.
