HW & installation

I/O Cards

I/O cards MUST be mounted in slots A, B and C 

consecutively starting in slot A. Dip-switches must be 

correctly set on the I/O cards.

For DSP cards all jumpers must be set to off (up position)

For I/O cards jumper 2 must be set to on (down-position)

To install a DSP or I/O expansion card in your Frame

.

1 Switch OFF the unit and disconnect the mains power 

cord.

2. Remove the DUM-1 option plate(s) or module by 

  loosening the 2 screws.

3. Insert the card gently and mount the two screws.

Static Electricity

As all computer hardware can be sensitive to static 

electricity, certain precautions must be taken to protect it 

from damage during storage and handling.

Storage

Non-mounted modules should always be stored in 

anti-static shielded bags.

General Handling

When inserting or removing any modules, avoid touching 

the circuit board by handling only the rear panel of the 

module. To minimize the static potentials that can cause 

damage to the electronic circuits, you should observe 

precautionary grounding techniques such as touching 

a grounded DB4/DB8 Mainframe immediately before 

inserting modules.

Removing Modules

Before removing any card from your Mainframe, unplug 

the mains power cable. Unplug all other connections from 

the module before unscrewing the two screws securing the 

module in the Mainframe. When removing a module from a 

Mainframe, the card should be mounted directly in another 

Mainframe or placed in an anti-static shielded bag.

Mounting Modules

Before mounting modules in your DB8/DB4, unplug the 

mains power cable. Remove the dummy-panel or original 

module from the slot where you want to install the module. 

The module should then be removed from the shielded bag 

and mounted directly in the Mainframe by handling the rear 

panel of the module only.  Avoid touching any components 

on the PCB-Board.

Caution!

The servicing instructions are for 

use by qualified personnel only. To 

reduce the risk of electric shock do 

not perform any servicing other than 

that in the operation instructions 

unless you are qualified to do so.
