2.7 Removal and Installation of Modules
All active circuitry is located on removable modules. Hot Swap modules may be installed
and removed under power. Refer to the appropriate section or manual to determine if the
particular module is Hot Swap compatible.
For all other modules, remove all power
from the unit before installing or removing any module.
All Hazardous Voltages MUST be removed from the M87x before removing or
installing the Power Supply Module or the Signal Input Module.
The Signal Input
Module and the Power Supply may be withdrawn from the housing after removal of the
front panel screws.
All connections to a module must be removed before removing the module. Do not
attempt to install a module with signals connected.
To remove a cPCI module, use
the following procedure:
1.
Remove power from the unit (except Hot Swap modules).
2. Unscrew the M2.5 Phillips front panel screws (note that these are captive screws).
The screw in the handle has been left out intentionally.
3. Pull the red sliding release tab up and outward until handle is unlocked.
4. Push the handle downward (when viewed from the front) to lever out the module.
5. Once the module is disengaged from the backplane connector, carefully withdraw
the module.
6. Be extremely careful when handling the module, especially the backplane
connector.
To insert a cPCI module, use the following procedure:
1.
Make sure the red sliding release tab is fully extended from the handle, and that the
handle is in the downward position (when viewed from the front).
2. Line up the module with the card guides in the appropriate position (the
Host/Analog-Digital Signal Processor Module MUST be inserted in the right most
double width bay).
3. Use the handle to lever the module into the housing.
4. When the module is fully engaged, tighten the M2.5 Phillips front panel screws. The
screw in the handle has been left out intentionally.
