Rules for Inserting a Coral Circuit Card
1. Connect the static dissipating wrist strap connector to the cage and put on the
strap. See
Figure 2-35 on page 2-55 .
2. To insert a circuit card completely into its slot, gently slide the card straight into
the card slot. A slight resistance will be felt as the multi-pin connectors on the
circuit card meet mating connectors on the backplane and engage.
3. Push against the ejectors until the front panel of the card is flush with the front
frame of the card cage.
4. On the front panel of the PS500 unit, verify that the green power indicator is lit,
while the red alarm indicator is not lit.
5. On the front panel of the peripheral card, verify that the red diagnostic LED (near
the top of the card) illuminates. The LED remains illuminated continuously until
the card receives its database from the system. After a few seconds, verify that the
LED extinguishes. An extinguished diagnostic LED indicates that the card has
initialized properly.
If the LED remains on continuously for more than two or three minutes, either
there is a conflict between the system database and its authorizations, or the card
may be faulty. See
page 10-4, Diagnostic LED Indication
, or refer to the Coral Service
and Peripheral Cards Installation Manual for further details on LED indication.
6. Attach the Program Interface (PI) device cable to the KB0 programming port
connector on the front panel of the MCP-IPx if not already attached. The
installation of shared service and peripheral interface cards into a Coral system
has considerable impact on the system database. Refer to
Chapter 6 of the Program
Circuit cards contain static-sensitive circuitry and may be damaged or destroyed by
electro-static discharge (ESD). Always wear the static dissipating wrist strap connected
to the cage while handling circuit cards. Hold circuit cards by their edges and avoid
touching contact surfaces. Handle with care and do not drop.
Do not force the circuit card into the slot. If more than slight resistance is encountered,
remove the circuit card and examine the connectors for bent pins or interfering debris.
Never place a card in a slot other than the dedicated one. Refer to
Table 2-11 on page
2-59 to determine peripheral interface card types.
