2 To install a card into an empty slot, slide the card into the slot, and push gently on the
handle to seat the connectors.
Seating input cards requires more pressure. Their rear panels cover up to 5 slots,
depending on the model, to accommodate a large number of connectors.
• In a Densité 3+ FR4 frame, input cards can be installed with a double-width rear
panel, in which case they should be inserted into the left-hand slot (i.e., if the rear
panel covers slots 2 and 3, you must insert the card itself at slot 2).
• A KMX-3901-IN-8-D input card with a triple rear panel occupies 3 slots and should
be inserted in the center slot (e.g. if the rear panel covers slots 4–6, insert the card
itself at slot 5).
• A KMX-3901-IN-16-D input card with a quadruple rear panel occupies 4 slots and
should be inserted
one
slot to the left of the rightmost slot (e.g. if the rear panel
covers slots 7–10, insert the card itself at slot 9).
• A KMX-3901-IN-16-Q input card with a quintuple rear panel occupies 5 slots and
should be inserted
two
slots to the left of the rightmost slot (e.g. if the rear panel
covers slots 11–15, insert the card itself at slot 13).
• In a Densité
3 frame, output cards must be installed with a double-width rear panel,
and they should be inserted into the left-hand slot (i.e., if the rear panel covers slots
2 and 3, you must insert the card itself at slot 2).
Inserting the card into the wrong slot will not damage the card, and will be flagged by
the on-card status LED flashing to indicate that there is no connection to the rear panel.

2 To install a card into an empty slot, slide the card into the slot with the swivel handle to
the right, and push gently on the handle to seat the connectors. If the card requires a
double-width rear panel to accommodate a large number of connectors, it should be
inserted into the lower slot. Inserting the card into the wrong slot will not damage the
card, and will be flagged by the on-card status LED flashing to indicate that there is no
connection to the rear panel.
