XPRB Module
Complement Products
and Optional Modules
The XPRB power control module allows a user to independently control up to 6
ReBoot xP units. Additionally, the XPRB provides an XP4000 Series system
menu interface via an RJ-45 connector. This menu interface can be used for
FLASH upgrading.
XPRB modules contain seven storage, or Flash positions that will hold
information for any Flash upgradable module in the system. You can download
the firmware for the XPLU, XPAB, XPRB, LCI, XPDU, XPSI, XPXT, XPST,
XPSR and XPXR modules into these Flash positions, and upgrade these
modules through the XPRB menuing system. Refer to Chapter 9, Advanced
Operations for more information on this application of the XPRB module.
Follow the instructions below to install the XPRB module.
1. Turn the rear panel of your XP4000 Series unit toward you. Choose an
available slot.
2. Remove the panel covering the available slot by unscrewing the two
Phillips-head screws on the rear of the unit that hold the panel in place.
3. Locate your XPRB power control module. Make sure that all of the positions
on the SW1 DIP switch are in the OFF position. Now, slide the module
gently into the open slot of the unit until the connectors lines up flush with
the back of the unit.
4. Retighten the holding screws completely. DO NOT overtighten.
To utilize the reboot functions of the XPRB module, you must have at least one
ReBoot xP in your configuration.
