Removing the Backplane Knockout
The IC695PNC001 must be installed in the main (CPU) rack of the RX3i system, using a Universal Backplane
such as IC695CHS007, CHS012 or CHS016. For details, refer to
the
PACSystems RX3i System Manual
,
GFK-2314.
The rear of the PNC001-Ax module has an exposed heat sink and backplane connector. Before inserting the
module into the backplane, remove the plastic knockout in the slot into which the module will be placed. The
installation slot must match the slot selected for the module in the Proficy Machine Edition (PME) hardware
configuration. This action is not required for PNC001-Bxxx. However, if the knockout has been previously
removed, the PNC001-Bxxx can still be inserted into that slot location.
