MOUNTING AND WIRING GUIDE

Unlike with a JACE-2/6 controller with an NPB-MDM installed in slot 1, the onboard RS-232 COM1 port (DB9)
remains operational. Also, any NPB-MDM option is unaffected by the “mode jumper” position for serial shell
access (jumper in “serial shell” position affects the operation of the onboard RS-232 COM1 port only).
Option card COM port assignments
COM port assignments for option cards installed in the controller start at COM5,
with Slot 1 evaluated first, then Slot 2. (COM1 and COM2 are always assigned to the
onboard RS-232 and RS-485 ports, while COM3 and COM4 are reserved.)
Installing an Option Card
For option-specific details, see the mounting & wiring document that accompanies
the particular option card. The following procedure provides a basic set of steps.
Warning
Installing an option card in option Slot 2 requires careful atten-
tion—you must carefully
pry up the shield tab to install the option
card under the tab
. Do not install an option card in Slot 2 with the
card resting on top of the shield tab! Otherwise, an electrical short or
some other issue from misaligned card header pins may result.
