FMS Expansion Cards
Note
Do not overlook installation of the screw. This screw grounds the expansion card
and is critical to the FMS performance.

If the expansion card is to be mounted in the lid (Slots 2, 3, and 4), mount the card as
follows:
a
Attach the ribbon cable to the expansion card, making sure that the correct connector is
attached.
Note
The ends of the ribbon cable are keyed, which means they will only fit onto the two double
rows of pins in one direction. Align the keyed side of the ribbon cable with the notches in the
plastic surrounding the rows of pins and push down securely. Always place and remove the
ribbon cable with a straight up and down motion. Pulling the cable to one side or another
will damage the pins in the connector and damage the board.

Angle the card toward the front of the FMS as you slide it into place with the bottom of
the card facing out and the terminal blocks positioned in the rear opening. Align the
screw holes on the card with the posts.
