Installation
Procedure
To install a Modem card into the CM701 or CM601A modem chassis:
CAUTION: All Radyne ComStream cards contain static-sensitive electronics.
Use standard antistatic procedures when handling the cards.
For full Modem card functionality, Monitor and Control (M&C) firmware version
5.50 or higher must be installed.
1. Check the Modem card filler plate as follows.
a. If the words “HOT PLUG/PULL” are present and M&C firmware is
version 4.80 or higher, the card may be installed with the
CM701/CM601A powered on.
b. If the words “HOT PLUG/PULL” are not present, or if the M&C
firmware is version 4.80 or lower, power must be removed from the
modem before continuing to the next step.
2. Remove the current filler plate from either slot 5, 6, or 7 by unscrewing the
two end screws.
