Figure 4: Removing the front door
For correct fitting of the door, hold the door at approximately 30
from the front of the frame ensuring that
it is centrally located above the hinge. The door can then be placed on the hinge and then closed.
For correct cooling, the door must be fitted and closed except when access to the modules is required.

Figure 5: Card Retainer (3U)
The Pyxis 3U frame is shipped with a card retaining bracket and card retaining strip fitted. These hold the
modules, PSUs and Controllers firmly in place during transit.
The card retaining bracket and card retaining strip must be removed before power is connected to the
router. To remove the card retaining bracket unscrew the two captive thumb screws and lift clear of the
frame. Also remove the card retainer strip (one for each module). Retain the brackets and fittings for use if
the router is shipped at a later date.
3.1.6 Inserting and removing modules
It is not necessary to power down the frame when inserting or removing system modules as they have
been designed so that they can be ‘hot-plugged’ with the system powered.
The modules locate and lock in place using slot guides in the metalwork and plug into connectors
attached to the rear connector assembly.
Each module has two handles to allow removal and insertion. Figure 6 shows the right hand handle and
how it locks into the guides in the frame metalwork.
To remove a module, lift up the card ejector on the module and gently pull the card out.
If a card has a board reset switch, it is wise to exercise this after plugging a board in with the power on.
