Installing the CommLink TR6442i Fiber Optic Intercom Link in the
Viper II Rack
The CommLink TR6442i Fiber Optic Intercom Link 13 or 15 rack mount unit is a standard
Viper II module. When installing or removing modules, takespecial care to ensure that no
damage occurs as a result of an improperly inserted module as the pins are of a very fine
pitch and can easily be bent.
If pins do become bent, contact Grass Valley for an RMA number.Do NOT attempt to repair
bent pins as failure to properly align the backplane will result in additional bent pins.
Carefully align the module in the top and bottom guides and slowly insert it into place. As
the rear end of the module nears the rear of the frame, it will hit a riser-plate that serves to
lift the module so that the power connectors will properly come together and seat.
You should be able to sense the plate as you insert the module and sense the female power
connector on the module make smooth contact with the male power plug in the frame.
Any attempts to force the module into the frame are likely to result in bent pins.
