Unpacking and Installing the Module 2 - 3
Installation Procedures
For a new installation where you have received a new ONline System
Concentrator and all the modules, the following steps must be performed
prior to installing the EMM:
❑ Install the concentrator in its location (rack, table, etc.) referring to
the instructions in the ONline System Concentrator Installation and
Operation Guide.
❑ Remove blank panels on the concentrators to expose empty slots for
the Controller Module, EMM, and ONline modules.
❑ Install the Controller Module and ONline modules into the board
guides at the top and bottom of the slots and slide them into the
concentrator. Make sure the connectors are firmly seated in the
backplane of the concentrator.
❑ Fasten the spring-loaded screws on the front panels of the modules
to the concentrator with your fingers (do not overtighten).
❑ Plug the power cord into an outlet and verify that all modules come
up in their default state. Optionally, press the LED Test button on the
Controller Module to verify that all LEDs are functional.
Installing the EMM into an existing installation does not require you to
power down the concentrator. The EMM, like all other ONline modules, has
the ability to be “hot swapped,” meaning that you can install the module
into any open slot and remove it with the concentrator in an operating
state. Use the following procedure if you are installing the EMM into an
existing installation.
1. Install the EMM into the board guides at the top and bottom of the
empty slot and slide it into the concentrator as shown in Figure 2-1.
Make sure the connector is firmly seated in the backplane of the
concentrator.
