Card Installation

2-4

CAUTION

Properly support the card until it is fully
seated in the Model 708A’s analog back-
plane. If the card is not supported until
it is fully seated, it may be damaged by
its own weight.

3. Pick up the card with both hands (one hand grasping the

handle and the other hand supporting the weight of the
card).

4. Align the card in the Model 708A. Make sure the edges

of the card slide into the card edge guides and the com-
ponent side of the card is facing up.

5. Slide the card into the Model 708A. Make sure the card

is fully seated in the analog backplane.

6. Tighten the spring-loaded mounting screws with a Phil-

ips screwdriver.

WARNING

The mounting screws must be secured to
ensure a proper chassis ground connec-
tion between the card and the Model
708A Switching System. Failure to
properly secure this ground connection
may result in personal injury or death
due to electric shock.

Card removal

Using Figure 2-2 as a guide, remove a card from the Model
708A Switching System as follows. Specific card instruc-
tions can be found in the appropriate card’s manual.

WARNING

Before installing or removing cards or
making card connections, turn off main-
frame power and disconnect the line
cord. Also, make sure no power is ap-
plied from the user’s circuit.

CAUTION

Do not touch the card surfaces, connec-
tors, or components to avoid contamina-
tion that could degrade card perfor-
mance.

NOTE

Some cards have connectors that are inac-
cessible once the card is fully inserted into
the switching system (e.g., the quick dis-
connect terminal blocks on Model 7071
cards). In these cases, remove wires from
the row and column terminal blocks be-
fore fully removing the card from the
backplane connectors.

1. Using lint-free gloves, remove the card.

• Loosen the spring-loaded mounting screws.

• Pull out the card by its handle (one hand grasping the

handle and the other hand supporting weight of card).

CAUTION

Properly support the card while remov-
ing it from the mainframe. An unsup-
ported card may be damaged by its own
weight. Store cards properly. Refer to
the appropriate card manual’s handling
and cleaning precautions for specific in-
structions.

2. Install the slot cover (or other card as applicable).
