HANDLING PRECAUTIONS FOR
STATIC-SENSITIVE DEVICES
This product is designed to protect sensitive components from damage
due to electrostatic discharge (ESD) during normal operation. When
performing installation procedures, however, take proper static control
precautions to prevent damage to equipment. If you are not sure of the
proper static control precautions, contact your nearest sales or service
representative.
If there is visible damage, do not attempt to connect the device. Contact your
service or sales representative.
Installing the AIM24000 in a BLC
There must be a management module, complete with an uplink module, installed
in your BLC in order for the AIM24000 to operate.
NOTE: All of Paradyne’s BLC IP interface modules are hot swappable. Installing or
removing an interface module while the chassis is powered up does not affect the
operational status of other interface modules within the chassis.
12-Slot BLC
The 12000 and 12000E BLCs are fourteen slot chassis. Slots 1–12 are reserved
for interface modules (such as the AIM24000), and the remaining slots (13 and 14
in the 12000 and U1 and U2 in the 12000E) are reserved for management
modules.
NOTE: Although the AIM24000 can be installed in both the 12000 and the 12000E
BLC, the 12000 has the capability to support AIM24000 ports 1–24 only. In order
to make use of all 48 ports, you must install the AIM24000 in a 12000E.
Procedure
To install the AIM24000 in a 12-slot BLC:
1. Select a slot for installation. The AIM24000 may be placed in any available
slot, 1–12. Remove the cover plate from the chosen slot by turning the
fastening screws counterclockwise with a screwdriver and then gently sliding
the cover plate out of the chassis.
CAUTION: If a cover plate is removed from slot 1–12 of a 12000 or 12000E
BLC, it must be replaced with an interface module.
Do not operate your BLC
with an empty slot.
