HIGH-SPEED 2-WIRE SHORT-RANGE DSL LINE DRIVER RACK CARD

Powering Up Your Rack

The power supplies that come with your rack system are equipped with a power-
entry connector on the rear card. The power supplies are hot-swappable, so you
are not required to remove the cards from the rack while applying power to the
system.

The power switch is located on the front panel. When plugged in and switched on,
a red front-panel LED will glow. Since the rack chassis is a “hot-swappable” rack, it
is not necessary for any cards to be installed before switching on the power supply.
The power supply may be switched off at any time without harming the installed
cards.

4.2 Installing the mDSL Rack Card into the Chassis

The mDSL Rack Card is composed of a front card and a rear card. The two cards
meet inside the rack chassis and plug into each other by way of mating 50-pin card-
edge connectors. Use the following steps as a guideline for installing each mDSL
Rack Card into the rack chassis:

1. Slide the rear card into the back of the chassis along the metal rails provided.

2. Secure the rear card using the metal screws provided.

3. Slide the front card into the front of the chassis. It should meet the rear card

when it’s almost all the way into the chassis.

4. Push the front card gently into the card-edge receptacle of the rear card. It

should “click” into place.

5. Secure the front card using the thumbscrews.
