Installing the GPI-100
Use the following procedure to install the GPI-100 in an openGear frame:
1. Locate the Rear Module you installed in the procedure “ Installing a Rear Module ” on
page 2-5.
2.
Hold the GPI-100 by the edges and carefully align the card-edges with the slots in the
frame.
3.
Fully insert the card into the frame until the rear connection plus is properly seated in the
Rear Module.
4.
Verify whether your rear module label is self-adhesive by checking the back of the label
for a thin wax sheet. You must remove this wax sheet before affixing the label.
5.
Affix the supplied rear module label to the BNC area of the Rear Module.
Notice
— Heat and power distribution requirements within a frame may dictate specific slot
placements of cards. Cards with many heat-producing components should be arranged to
avoid areas of excess heat build-up, particularly in frames using convectional cooling.
