Bootload Button

This button is used for factory service in the unlikely event of a complete card failure. Do not use 
this button unless advised by Ross Technical Support.

Bullet Connectors

The bullet connectors on the card-edge insert into the backplane of the rear module, to connect 
the card to the rear module. It is strongly recommended to verify that the bullet connectors are 
aligned correctly before inserting into the rear module.

Daughter Card

A daughter card may be installed on the SRA-8901 main PCB. This daughter card provides 
additional output connections for the rear module.

For More Information on...

• the cabling designations for your card, refer to the section “

Cabling

” on page 2-5.

• the Bootload process, refer to the section “
