Electrostatic discharge can damage semiconductor devices inside this
module if you touch backplane connector pins. Guard against
electrostatic damage by observing the following warning:
!
ATTENTION: Electrostatic discharge can degrade
performance or cause permanent damage. Handle the
module as stated below.
• Wear an approved wrist strap grounding device when handling
the module.
• Touch a grounded object to rid yourself of electrostatic charge
before handling the module.
• Handle the module from the front, away from the backplane
connector. Do not touch backplane connector pins.
• Keep the module in its static-shield bag when not in use, or
during shipment.
Your module receives its power through the 1771 I/O chassis
backplane from the chassis power supply. The maximum current
drawn by the module from this supply is 650mA (3.25 Watts).
Add this value to the requirements of all other modules in the I/O
chassis to prevent overloading the chassis backplane and/or
backplane power supply.
Place your module in any slot of the I/O chassis except for the
extreme left slot. This slot is reserved for processors or adapter
modules.
When using: You can:
2slot addressing place your module in any module group with any 8bit or block
transfer module.
1slot addressing place your module in any module group with any 8bit, 16bit or block
transfer module.
1/2slot addressing, no restrictions on module location.
After determining the module’s location in the I/O chassis, connect
the wiring arm to the pivot bar at the module’s location.
