•
Unpack the breakout panel.
•
Plug one end of the enclosed ribbon cable into the mating connector at the
rear of IM1 which you have uncovered before. It only fits one way. It may be
necessary to pull back the isolation sleeve of the cable slightly in order to
plug in the connector.
•
Put the plastic cover back into place using the two Philips head screws. Make
sure to mount it the right way around: The sharp-edged side with the crack
marks must not face the cable!
•
Make sure the power of your rack has been switched off!
•
Carefully insert IM1 into the rack. Make sure the ribbon cable faces to the
right. Keep the unit well aligned until the board edge connectors meet their
counterparts.
•
Firmly push IM1 into place without using excessive force.
•
Make the ribbon cable stick out of the free slot to the right of your IM1.
•
Fix the IM1 front panel with four screws that come with your rack or
our enclosed spare screws.
•
Plug the free ribbon cable connector into the mating PCB connector
on the breakout panel. It only fits one way. It might be necessary to
move the strain-relief levers of the PCB connector outwards in order
to insert the connector. When the connector is firmly plugged in the
strain-relief levers should automatically snap back into place and
prevent unintentional release.
•
Mount the breakout panel with two screws that come with your rack
or our enclosed spare screws.
Extracting Tool
In order to remove IM1 from the 500 series rack we recommend using the enclosed
extracting tool. Remove the M3 Philips head countersunk screw in the INSERT section
on the front panel. In place of this screw, screw in the extracting tool gently without
tightening it.
Then hold by the tool and carefully pull straight out - do not apply any force sideways!
When done, do not forget to put the M3 countersunk screw back into place.
