Option Module Overview
Installation Procedure To install an option module:
1. Before installing option modules, ensure that all configuration parameters
specific to your site are recorded.
2. Remove power from the unit.
3. Remove the filler plate from the appropriate slot by unscrewing all end
screws.
4. Align the module edges so the module slides down the center of the module
guides.
5. Slowly push the module into the chassis by pushing on the area of the filler
plate labelled push here.
6. When the module is almost completely inserted into the chassis, seat the
module into the backplane by applying slightly more pressure with your
fingers.
The module is fully seated when both ends of the filler plate are flush with the
chassis.
7. Screw the filler plate into the chassis.
8. Once all option modules are installed and correctly cabled, power on the unit.
If the installed option module is a replacement of an existing board, the
system will automatically perform a self-test and configure itself to your
specific requirements.
If the installed option module provides new functionality, the system will
automatically perform a self-test and the module will configure itself to
default settings.
