Installing an MFC-8300 Controller Card

This section outlines how to install an MFC-8300 Controller Card in a DFR-8300 series frame. The
same procedure applies regardless of the frame or card type.

Installing an MFC-8300 Controller Card

Use the following procedure to install an MFC-8300 Controller Card into a DFR-8300 series frame:

1. Open the frame door. With the frame door open, unscrew the MFC-8300 Card Retaining

Screw (Part No. 850-040R) enough to eliminate any protrusion into the card guide slot on
the right of the screw. If necessary, remove any cards from the frame that would interfere
with easy access and lines of sight. Refer to the DFR-8300 Series User Manual for
details on opening the frame door.

2. Insert the MFC-8300 Controller Card, with the component side out (Figure 2.1) into the

card guides between the dividing wall and the last slot, ensuring the card does not touch
the Card Retaining Screw.

3. Slide the card in the slot until firmly seated and such that the Card Retaining Screw hole

on the bottom front edge aligns with the mounted nut beside the bottom guide slot.

4. Tighten the Card Retaining Screw through MFC-8300 Card Retaining Screw hole, to

ensure the card does not move from the slot.

5. Power up the frame. Refer to the DFR-8300 Series User Manual for details.

6. Ensure the frame door is closed.

7. Check the operation of the fans. If the fans do not operate, verify that:

• the MFC-8300 Controller Card is seated properly in the frame backplane.

• the MFC-8300 Controller Card is aligned to the Fan PCB when the door is closed.

This completes the installation of an MFC-8300 Controller Card in a DFR-8300 series frame.
