Installing Transmitter and Receiver Boards into the Enclosure
Any combination of up to 16 single-slot or 8 double-slot transmitter or receiver boards can
be installed in the PowerCage enclosure. The quantity and type of boards varies depending
on the configuration for each installation site.
Before installing the boards in the enclosure, refer to the model-specific guide for each
PowerCage transmitter and receiver board you are installing. Some boards have switches
that must be set before installation. The guides describe the features of each board and how
to set up and cable it.
NOTE: The boards are hot-swappable; they can be installed or removed without turning
off or disconnecting the power to the PowerCage enclosure.
CAUTIONS:
•
Use ESD precautions when installing a board to avoid damaging it. Keep
the board in the anti-static bag until it is needed.
•
Use proper grounding techniques during installation.
1.
Where applicable, remove as many blank plates or previously installed boards from the
rear of the PowerCage Enclosure as necessary to accommodate the number of new
boards to be installed. Save the screws for use in step 3.
2.
Hold the board with the signal connectors towards you and the LED at the top, and
align the top and bottom grooves of the board with the slide posts in the selected
enclosure slot, as shown in the following figure:
