Damaged backplane due to bent pins
Bent pins may result in permanent damage to the backplane.
Check the backplane connector for bent pins!
Any pins that are bent must be straightened!
When module is connected, it must be guided with both hands and carefully pressed
into the backplane connector.
●
Push in the plug-in module using moderate pressure
●
The top snap pin on the module must locate in the right-hand and the bottom pin in
the left-hand hole on the TSVP chassis
●
The module is correctly located when a distinct 'stop' can be felt
When short and long modules are mounted into adjacent slots, the front panel of the
short module may cause short circuits on the long module, so please ensure adequate
clearance!
●
Tighten the top and bottom screws on the front panel of the plug-in module
Please observe the following instructions for installation of a Rear I/O module:
●
Rear I/O modules (for example R&S TS-PDC) must be inserted with extra caution,
making certain the connector is correctly guided into the socket opening in the
backplane. It must not be inserted at an angle or with incorrect alignment, etc. The
short circuit board guides alone do not ensure absolutely reliable guiding.
●
Multiple adjacent R&S TS-PDC modules should be inserted in order "from left to
right" and removed in the opposite order. Because the spaces are so narrow, care
must be taken not to damage any components on the solder side of the module.
