6. Module Installation
The CF-CPA Constant Power EDFA module occupies a single ChromaFlex chassis module slot. The modules may be
inserted or removed while the chassis is powered without interrupting other operational modules in the chassis. The
following module installation procedures assume the chassis is installed and powered following the instructions in the
ChromaFlex Chassis Hardware Interface Manual.
1. Align the module into the desired slot opening in the ChromaFlex chassis
2. Using the handle push the module into the slot with even pressure until the module is mated with the chassis mid-
plane connector.
3. Press the modules extraction levers downward against the module face.
4. Tighten the two module retaining screws until snug in an even manner.
5. The module Status LEDs should now be lit green and the optical input and output power LEDs red if an optical input
has not already been connected to the module. Note, each LED will cycle through all colors during a power up cycle.
