Back of Matrix-Hub Series 1000 Chassis with All Cards
2.1 Adding and Removing Cards
Matrix-Hub cards may be purchased separately at any time to expand the
capacity or change the functionality of an existing unit. The user may add or
remove cards in the field quite easily, allowing for great flexibility of existing
systems.
All Matrix-Hub cards may be hot-swapped. It is not necessary to power-down the
unit when adding or removing cards.
When removing a card, use the two black plastic ejectors located at the top and
bottom of each card to help pull the card out of its slot. Push the tabs apart
vertically, and they will lever the card back out of its slot. The card may then be
slid out. If removing a switch card, be sure to first loosen the screws located
inside the metal frame attaching the plastic ejector tabs to the card. Loosen the
screws until the threads disengage from the chassis, but do not entirely remove
the screws from the card.
