Appendix F
Plug-In Modules
Introduction
The ST-133 Controller has three plug-in slots. The Analog/Control module (leftmost slot
when the controller is viewed from the rear) and the Interface Control module (either a
TAXI or a USB 2.0 compatible module in the middle slot) are always provided. The third
slot is covered with a blank panel unless a PTG module has been installed.
If a module is ever removed for any reason, internal settings should not be disturbed.
Changing a setting could radically alter the controller’s performance. Restoring normal
operation again without proper equipment and guidance would be very difficult, and it
might be necessary to return the unit to the factory for recalibration.
Modules should never be removed or installed when the controller is under power. If a
module is removed or installed when the controller is powered, permanent equipment
damage could occur which would not be covered by the warranty.
Removing/Installing a Plug-In Module
1. Always turn the Controller OFF before removing or installing a module. If a
module is removed or installed when the controller is powered, permanent
equipment damage could occur which would not be covered by the warranty.
2. Before handling any boards, take precautions to prevent electrostatic discharge
(ESD). The modules are susceptible to ESD damage. Damage caused by
improper handling is not covered by the Warranty.
To Remove a Module:
1. Verify that the Controller has been turned OFF.
2. Rotate the two locking screws (one at the top of the module and one at the
bottom) counterclockwise until they release from the chassis.
3. Then, grasp the module and pull it straight out.
4. Set the module aside in a safe place. If you are replacing it with another module,
as in the case of exchanging a TAXI module with a USB 2.0 module, you may be
able to use the packaging from the new module to store the module being
replaced. This packaging is usually an antistatic bag that will protect the module
components from electrostatic discharge.
