12 XSWITCH Installation and Operation Manual
Section 2 — Hardware Setup and Installation
CPU Card Installation
There is only one slot in the Master Module for the CPU card. The CPU card
occupies the slot in the upper right corner of the card cage, as viewed from
the back. Before the CPU card is installed, ensure the program/run switch
is in the RUN position. To install the CPU card:
1. Align the top and bottom edges of the CIRCUIT BOARD (not the metal
sheet to which the board is mounted) with the nylon card guides inside
the card cage.
2. Slide the card all the way back until the DIN connector on the card
mates securely with the DIN connector on the backplane. The metal
panel should fit snugly against the mounting bars at the back (the side
nearest installer) of the card cage.
3. Install and tighten the two #4 machine screws to fasten the connector
panel to the mounting bars.
General Switch Card Installation
All other switch cards are installed in the same manner described for the
CPU Card Installation . Unlike the CPU card, these cards can occupy any
other position in the upper half of the card cage. With the exception of the
Audio Switch Card, there are no programming jumpers or adjustments to
be made on any of these switch cards.
KVM Module Installation
The KVM Module connects to the backplane via a 34-conductor ribbon
cable. The cable is terminated with keyed 34-pin connectors.
• One end of the cable plugs into the backplane at J13
• One end plugs into the KVM module at J11
• The module then fastens to the Master Module chassis using 6 #4
machine screws
Expansion Module Switch Card Installation
Basically, the Expansion Module duplicates the upper half of the Master
Module except the Expansion card occupies the slot in the upper right
corner of the card cage, as viewed from the back. It is installed in exactly the
same manner described for the
CPU Card Installation .
The Expansion card provides connection points for cabling between the
Master Module and the Expansion Module. It also provides connection
points for cabling between additional Expansion Modules. Up to 3 Expan-
