PCB LAYOUT

PCB Location

Determine the slot position for each PCB. In the cabinet:

● Slots 3 - 8 are universal (any type of PCB can be installed). The only restriction is that an ESIU PCB

can not be placed into slots 7 or 8 as there are not enough conversation channels.

Important Notes

• Make sure to follow the steps indicated in Powering Up the System (page 2-40) for an initial

system install. This will ensure that you start the system with the default system settings.

• To delete a PCB from the system, power down the system and then remove the PCB from the sys-

tem cabinet. Power the system back up and use Program 90-05-01 to delete the slot deﬁnition.

• Whenever powering down the system, check to make sure the only LED ﬂashing on the CPU

card itself (in the lower left-hand corner) is the LD2 LED (the LED located farthest right in the

line of LEDs). This LED is located in the lower left-hand corner of the CPU. It should be ﬂash-

ing 0.5 seconds on/off (a slow ﬂash). If it’s ﬂashing fast or if any other LEDS are ﬂashing on the

CPU, wait until they stop or else the system data may be corrupted.

After turning the power on, the user must wait approximately 10 seconds (so that only the LD2

LED is ﬂashing) if the system must be powered down again.
