Installation
If this module was supplied as part of a system it is already installed in the rack
enclosure. If the module was supplied as a field upgrade please follow the installation
procedure below.
NOTE Observe static precautions when handling card.
Please see ESD warnings on Page 7.
Each Card Module is supplied with a rear connection panel and mounting screws. Please
follow the procedure below for the installation of the card module into the Series 5000
Card Frame.
NOTE. This module should be installed in the R FR 5012 RackFrame with a Fan Front
Cover, to ensure sufficient airflow into the RackFrame.
We recommend you power the RackFrame down before installing any additional modules
into an existing RackFrame.
1. Select a free two slot space in the card frame where the CardModule will be
located.
2. Remove the blank connection panels from the rear of the rack (if fitted)
3. Install the rear connection panel using the screws supplied. Do not tighten the
screws fully
4. Slide the card module into the card frame and carefully check the CardModule
connects to the rear connection plate. The card should fit easily and should not
require excessive force to insert - if you feel any resistance, there could be
something wrong with the rear connection panel location.
Do not
try and force
the connection this may damage the connectors. Remove the rear connection
panel and check alignment with the CardModule.
5. Insert and remove the CardModule a few times to ensure correct alignment and
then tighten the two screws to secure the rear connection plate.
6. Power up the rack and check the module LED’s and matrix display illuminate.
Check the module is automatically logged into the control system device tree.
(It may take a few seconds for the control system to “discover” the new module)
Settings and Control
The P DM 5240 has an integrated micro-controller, which enables the module to be
configured and controlled locally via the dip-switch or from remote when using one of the
optional controllers and control software.
