Section 8-34 - Front End Processor Boards Replacement Procedure
•
Installing the FEPS2/FEPS3
When installing the FEPS2/;FEPS3 in a LOGIQ™ 9 Front End Card Rack, special attention needs to
be paid to the grounding points.
1.) Slide the FEPS2/FEPS3 in the card rack rails. See
.
-
Ensure that the ground plane separating the SCB and FEPS2/;FEPS3 boards will slide into
the ground plane grabber on the edge of the FEPS2/;FEPS3.
-
Ensure that the copper grounding tab will make contact with the ground plane separating the
SCB and FEPS2/;FEPS3 boards.
2.) Feed the PCI cable through the FEPS2/;FEPS3 and connect it to the SCB.
3.) Connect the two AC cables to the FEPS2/;FEPS3.
4.) Use the card ejectors to seat the boards pressing firmly on the top and bottom of the cards.
5.) Double check all ground plane contacts.
6.) When installing the FEP cover, ensure you use the new cover with the shielding riveted in the top
plane area.
NOTE:
Check the routing of the PCI cable through the Power Supply board. Ensure there are no loops
in the PCI cable that could short to test points or any part of the Power Supply.
c.) The RF gasket on the inside of the Front End Processor cover MUST make good contact with
the Front End Processor card cage. To get a tight fit with the gasket, loosely fit all screws
through the cover into the card cage. Apply pressure to the bottom of the cover forcing it
upward as you tighten all screws from the bottom up.
