Make Connections and Install the New Backplane

Step 1:

Install the dimmer output

ribbon cables/transition

cards. Open the black

retaining tabs for each

connector until they are at a

45° angle to the backplane.

Press the transition cards

into their respective

locations until the tabs lock

in place at a 90° angle to the

backplane.

Note: The order/layout for

the cables is not the same

as on the old backplane

(see illustration). Make sure the proper side is facing up on each connector

and that each connector is fully seated.

Step 2:

Bend one arm of the backplane metal in towards

the opposite arm (about 30 deg). Bend the metal

as little as possible to get it inside the rack.

Step 3:

Insert the backplane metal at an angle. Then

straighten it once it is past the face of the rack.

Push it into the rack far enough that it stays in

place, but leave yourself some room to make the

power and data connections.

Step 4:

Connect the power connector to the backplane

power header. Note the pin shapes for proper orientation.

It will only fit one way.

Step 5:

Now push the backplane completely into the rack. Be

careful of the power connection you just made. Make sure

that the wiring does not become stressed or pinched.

Step 6:

Insert tabs in the side of the rack.

Step 7:

With the tabs fully inserted in the sides of the rack, pull the

backplane towards the front of the rack to line up the

screw holes in the upper corners.

Step 8:

Install one screw with a sleeve

in the upper-corner of each side

of the backplane.

Step 9:

Plug the control input ribbon cable into the blue header on the backplane. The

connector is keyed - the ribbon cable will travel upwards from the backplane.

Step 10: Plug the 2' Ethernet cable into the RJ45 connector on the rear of the backplane.

N o t e :

You cannot use the old screws

without the additional shoulder-

sleeve as they will block the

CEM3 from being fully inserted.
