Summary
When setting up the NV8288 or the NV8288-Plus for the first time, or reconfiguring, there are cer-
tain steps that must be performed. It is recommended that initial installation and later reconfigura-
tion tasks be performed in a specific order to avoid possible complications.
Perform installation and reconfiguration tasks in the following order:
1 Mount the router in a rack. If reconfiguring, skip this step if the router is already rack mounted
and not being remounted. See Rack Mount on page 23.
2 Connect power, being sure to install PS6000 modules after power is connected. See Making
Power Connections on page 24.
3 Install active cards in the appropriate front card slots. If reconfiguring, removed cards and rein-
stall in the newly desired slots. Make sure that the appropriate backplane is installed for each
active card. See
Installing Active Cards on page 33.
4 Make connections between the source of incoming signals and the destination of outgoing sig-
nals, and the router. If reconfiguring, change signal connections to match new backplane and
active card configuration. See
Making Signal Connections on page 34.
5 Make connections between the router and the router control system. If reconfiguring, skip this
step if all necessary router control system connections are still adequate. See Making Router
Control System Connections on page 38.
