Installing Transmitter and Receiver Boards into the Enclosure

Any combination of up to 16 single-slot or 8 double-slot transmitter or receiver boards can 
be installed in the PowerCage enclosure. The quantity and type of boards varies depending 
on the configuration for each installation site.

Before

 installing the boards in the enclosure, refer to the model-specific guide for each 

PowerCage transmitter and receiver board you are installing. Some boards have switches 
that must be set before installation. The guides describe the features of each board and 
how to set up and cable it.

NOTE:

  The boards are hot-swappable; they can be installed or removed without turning 

off or disconnecting the power to the PowerCage enclosure.

 

CAUTIONS:
ATTENTIONS :

• 

Use ESD precautions when installing a board to avoid damaging it. Keep the 
board in the anti-static bag until it is needed.

• 

Prenez les précautions ESD lorsque vous installez une carte afin d’éviter de 
l’endommager. Gardez la carte dans le sachet dépoussiérant jusqu’à ce que vous 
en ayez besoin.

• 

Use proper grounding techniques during installation.

• 

Utilisez des techniques de mise à la terre correctes pendant l’installation.

 

NOTE:

  The main power supply or redundant power supply boards should be installed 

and not removed except during replacement. Power supply board removal and 
replacement for testing purposes should be avoided or kept to a minimum.

1. 

Where applicable, remove as many blank plates or previously installed boards from the 
rear of the PowerCage Enclosure as necessary to accommodate the number of new 
boards to be installed. Save the screws for use in step
