To avoid this risk, always mate the connector in the correct orientation, with moder-
ate force. Do not rotate or tilt the connector.
Connect the flat-ribbon cable to your module’s connector.
Figure 2-24: To attach or release the cable, press the latches on the sides of its connector
11. If you mount a module that has connectors for 2 control cables, connect the mod-
ule to 2 neighboring flat-ribbon cables of the base unit.
Adhere to the following rules:
● Do not cross-over two flat-ribbon cables (see also the example at the end of
the description of
● If you mount a three-slot (triple-width) module, do not skip the flat-ribbon cable
of the middle slot
● If you must connect 2 module bus cables (flat-ribbon cables) to a module, con-
nect the cable with the lowest name value (e.g., [M01], see
) to the
module's bus connector with the lowest number (e.g., [X100]). Then connect
the second cable [M02] to [X101].
● If you mount the one-slot module R&S
OSP-B200R, which requires connecting
2 flat-ribbon module bus cables, we recommend mounting this module in the
slot associated to the cable with the highest name value.
For example, in an R&S
OSP220, mount it in slot [FS03], which has a module
bus cable connected to module bus connector [M08] on the motherboard (see
). If your application requires connecting 2 module bus cables, use
the cable of a neighboring slot (for example [M07] in slot [FS02]) as the addi-
tional cable. Connect this cable to connector [X100] on the module, and con-
nect [M08] to [X101].
If necessary, you can use 2 non-neighboring cables for the R&S
OSP-B200R. If
no cable of a neighboring slot is available, let Rohde
&
Schwarz service mount
this module.
