Installing Cards
Rack Slots
The RCMP -D card, RGPS-K card, MCPU2 card and subscriber cards are installed in the system rack as
shown. Subscriber cards are mounted in card slots UCS0–UCS3 (slots 3–6).
Procedure
Before you begin installing the cards you require into the rack, you should set the jumpers and switches on
the cards so that they work appropriately. (This information is provided in the documentation supplied on the
DCS Gateway CD-ROM.) Also, take note of the following precautions.
•
High-voltage electrostatic charge can accumulate easily in the human body. Remove any charge by
touching a grounded component of the system or other object (such as a radiator) with your hands before
handling cards. Wear an antistatic wristband if you have one.
•
Any surface where cards are placed must be wrapped in conducting material and grounded. Also, place
the ground clip connected to the electrostatic -proof bag in contact with the surface.
•
Try not to touch the edge connectors on the cards or any pins on the jumpers.
Install the cards as follows. (The PRI4 card is used as an example in the illustrations; however, all cards are
inserted into slots following the same procedure.)
1.
Choose the card you want to install and examine it carefully for any damage.
If this is the power card,
check that the power switch on the card is turned OFF before inserting the card
. Also, check again
that jumpers and switches are properly set (if required).
2.
Decide which slot the card should be inserted into (see illustration above) and place the card on the guide
rail located inside the lower part of the slot.
Slot 0 (POWER)
Slot 1 (RINGER)
Slot 2 (MCPU2)
Slot 3 (UCS0)
Slot 4 (UCS1)
Slot 5 (UCS2)
Slot 6 (UCS3)
