Installing an XFP Transceiver
Install a CF Card
Each controller card has an external slot on the front panel in which you can install an optional Type I or
Type II CF card.
To install an CF card, perform the following steps:
1. If you are installing the CF card in an XCRP4 Controller card, open the door that covers the CF Type 1
slot until it “snaps” open.
2. Hold the CF card so that its pin-hole side faces the slot in the controller front panel.
3. Vertically align the CF card as close to the left edge of the slot as possible and perpendicular to it; see
4. Slowly insert the CF card in the slot. If the CF card does not engage the connectors with approximately
0.50 inches (1.27 cm) of the CF card outside the slot, do not continue. Remove the CF card and repeat
this step.
Note
If you install a CF card in the active controller card, the standby controller card, if installed,
must also have a CF card installed; however, the CF card types (Type I or Type II) need not
match.
The XCRP4 Controller card supports Type I CF cards only.
Caution
Risk of equipment malfunction. On early versions of the XCRP Controller card, it is possible
to slide the CF card into the slot without the internal pins engaging the CF card. When this
happens, it is not always possible to retrieve the CF card from the slot; you must remove the
controller card from the chassis and remove the front panel from the card. To reduce the risk,
ensure that you position the CF card as described in step 3.
