5.2  INSTALLING THE REAR IM2RC/I-100B CARD AND FRONT 

FUNCTION CARD

The Model IM2RC/I-100B is a rear-mountable ethernet interface card 
that works with Patton Models 3088RC and 2701RC access products. 
The two cards meet inside the rack chassis and plug into each other by 
way of mating 50 pin card edge connectors.  Use the following steps as a 
guideline for installing each Model IM2RC/I-100B and its function card 

mate into the rack chassis:

   1. Slide the IM2RC/I-100B rear card into the back of the chassis along 

the metal rails provided.

   2. Secure the IM2RC/I-100B rear card using the metal screws pro-

vided.

   3. Slide the front function card into the front of the chassis.  It should 

meet the IM2RC/I-100B rear card when it is almost all the way into 
the chassis.

   4. Push the front card gently into the card-edge receptacle of the rear 

card.  It should “click” into place.

   5. Secure the front card using the thumb screws. 

The IM2RC/I-100B card contains sensitive integrated 
circuitry. Failure to ground yourself during installation 
may result in damage to the IM2RC/I-100B-100B card or 
the front function card.
