INSTALLING THE MODULES 

Orient the module vertically such that the white card ejector is on the bottom.  Align the card with the card 
guide corresponding to the slot number where you installed the rear panel plate.  Carefully slide the 
module into the frame and press it completely into the rear panel connectors.  Make sure that the 
connectors are fully seated in the rear panel. 
 

3.3. 

REMOVING THE MODULES 

Press the card ejector down to release the module.  Grasp then the card using the card ejector and pull 
the module out from the frame.  As the card ejector goes past the front extrusion, you will have to pull it 
with slightly more force.  Carefully place the module in a safe place, free from static discharge. 
 

4. SERVICING 

INSTRUCTIONS 

 

CAUTION – These servicing instructions are for use by qualified service personnel 
only.  To reduce risk of electric shock do not perform any servicing instructions in 
this section of the manual unless you are qualified to do so.  

 

4.1. 

CHANGING THE FUSES  

The fuse holder is located inside the power entry module.  To change the fuses, pull out the fuse holder 
from the power entry module using a small screwdriver.  The fuse holder contains two fuses, one for the 
line and one for the neutral side of the mains connection.  Pull out the blown fuse and place a fuse of the 
correct value in its place.  Use time delay 5 x 20 mm fuses rated for 250 Volts with a current rating of 
4 amp.  (T4AL250V) For your convenience there are spare fuses located in the vinyl pouch in the front of 
this manual.  Carefully reinsert the fuse holder into the power entry module. 
 

 

Check that the line fuse is rated for the correct value marked on the rear panel. 
Never replace with a fuse of greater value. 

 

4.2. 

REPLACING THE POWER SUPPLY 

Each power supply is a complete assembly and includes the power supply cooling fan and one frame 
cooling fan.  In the event that the power supply or one of the fans malfunctions, you will need to replace 
the power supply assembly with a spare one while the failed assembly is being repaired. 
 

 

Do not run the frame for extended periods of time with one of the power supplies 
removed.  Proper cooling of the frame requires both power supplies to be inserted 
into the frame, or one power supply and a 500PS-FM power supply blank panel.
