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.
This module has a single width rear connection panel. Up to ten C MX 5710
modules can be accommodated in a single Series 5000 2RU rack frame.
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.
We recommend you power the rack down before installing any additional
modules into an existing card frame.
1. Select a free 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. 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)
NOTE:
The use of the optional control system is
mandatory
for the control and
setup of this module. If you do not have the control system, then please
contact your LYNX representative for details on how to upgrade your
installation with the LYNX control system.
