How to Install or Replace a Controller Card
Note: When using a single Controller, the top Controller slot is always
Primary. Replacing the Controller Card will interrupt service if a Back-up
(Secondary) Controller Card is not installed.
1
Turn the thumbscrews counterclockwise until they disengage from the chassis.
Pull the Controller Card straight out using both black handles.
2
Place the new module upright so that the ACTIVE LED is on the top. Grasp
the module by the handles or by the outer edge of the aluminum housing. The
card should slide freely until it reaches the backplane connector. At this point,
use just enough force to firmly engage the card with the mating connector.
If the
module does not slide into the connector, do not force it! Damage may
occur. Remove the card and start over.
3
Once the module is completely seated, hand-tighten the thumbscrews.
Do not
tighten the thumbscrews with a screwdriver.
How to Replace a Fan Tray
The TLX640 uses three DC fans to move air horizontally through the enclosure. Be sure to not block the
air vents on the front and rear of the unit and leave
at least 2” of space on both sides.
Note: Leave adequate ventilation
space on both sides of the units
(2”
minimum), especially if units (e.g.
Extenders) are being stacked above or
below the TLX640 KVM Matrix Switch.
Note: No shutdown is required prior
to replacing the Fan Tray.
1
Turn the four thumbscrews counterclockwise until they disengage from the chassis.
2
Pull the Fan Tray module straight out using both handles.
3
Place the new module so that the aluminum housing is on the bottom. Hold the new Fan Tray by
the black handles and slide the aluminum housing into the black card guides.
Warning!
Do not operate the unit without a Fan Tray installed.
4
Hand-tighten the thumbscrews.
Do not tighten the thumbscrews with a screwdriver.
