3.2 RACK CARD INSTALLATION

The VLINK modem rack card comprised a front card and a rear card.Do the following to install the cards into the rack chassis:

1.Slide the rear card into the back of the chassis along the metal rails.

2.Secure the rear card using the supplied metal screws.

3.Slide the front card into the chassis until you feel resistance as the front card engages the rear card. When that happens, gently push the front card forward until it is fully seated in the card-edge recepta- cle of the rear card (it should click into place).

4.Secure the front card using the captive fasteners.

Note The Model 1001R14 chassis supports “hot swapping” of cards, so it is not necessary to power down the rack when you install or remove a VLINK modem rack card.
